Perry's Victory and Peace Memorial-- Part 1: 352-Feet Tall

From Wikipedia.

This monument is located on an isthmus of South Bass Island (Put-In-Bay).  At 352-feet tall, it is the largest Doric column in the world.  Its construction was run by a multi-state commission from 1912-1915 "to inculcate the lessons of international peace by arbitration and disarmament" between the United States and Canada.

It honors Oliver Hazard Perry and six officers (three British and three American) who died during the Battle of Lake Erie). The six officers are buried under the rotunda of the monument.  Perry, however, is buried in Newport, Rhode Island.  Carved into the walls of the rotunda are the names of soldiers and sailors who were killed or wounded in the battle.
