Good synopsis of the battle here, with some depictions of ship positions during the course of the engagement. The Erie Maritime Museum is the homeport of a replica of the brig Niagara, and also contains a replica of a portion of Perry’s original flagship, the brig Lawrence.
Benson J. Lossing's pictorial history of the battle here.
Another good history by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission here.

We need more stories like this so that our undereducated kids know what our ancestors went through to establish this country!

Apart from his decisive, and strategic, victory Perry is remembered for transferring his flag under fire from his brig Lawrence*, itself shot to pieces with devastating casualties and later surrendered, to the brig Niagara upon which he fought the battle to its conclusion.Had Pelosi and Reid been observing such, they would have concluded that the battle was lost to the Brits...

Years ago while walking through the Capital Building (you could do that then) I found that painting (Battle of Lake Erie) in one of the huge stairwells. It was an amazing thing to discover there. I don’t know if it is still hanging there or not.
