P-2S- 'T;-- , Fas' In Upper Right Hand Corner is Picture Showing View of Erie Harbor, Where the Hull Has Lain Nearly a Century. After resting on the bottom of Misery Pay, a small arm of the Presque Isle l!ay (Krie harbor), for nearly a century, the historic hull of the sec ond flagship of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry In the "Hattle of Lake Krie," Sept. 10, 1 SI 3, has been raised and rebuilt by the commonwealth of Pennsylvania at a cost of $75,000 for the admiration of thousands at the centennial celebration In Krie, July 6 to 12, and In othr lake cities later. The great iron spikes, hand forged, held the massive timbers together as strongly as on the September morning a hundred - years ago, when the "Niagara" poured broadsides Into the British fleet.' Many of the loose spikes and splinters have been eagerly seized during the rebuilding for Bouvenirs. . . Five feet of the bottom of the battleship for almost the entire length of 120 feet, were preserved by' the sands that covered 'the' hull, i Great care was exercised in the raising on pontoons so that' the boat could be rebuilt exactly as It was when constructed by . the . hardy pioneers' along the lake. The picture shows the hull after it was dragged upon the sands of the Presque Isle peninsula. In the upper right" hand" corner Is a sketch of Misery Pay in summer with the boathouse and channel lighthouse of the United States life saving station near the entrance to Erie harbor.
