DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP USS Niagara Oliver Hazard Perry Art by Alonzo Chappel 1894 Print
This is a Wood Engraving / illustration / print that has been taken from a book dated 1894 and is ready for framing. Measures approximately 11 1/2 x 9 inches.
Faithful to the words of his battle flag, DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP a paraphrase of the dying words of Captain James Lawrence, the ship's namesake and Perry's friend, Perry, with Lawrence's chaplain and purser as the remaining able crew, personally fired the final salvo. He then had his men row him a half-mile (0.8 km) through heavy gunfire to transfer his command to USS Niagara. Once aboard, Perry dispatched Niagara's commander, Captain Jesse Elliott, to bring the other schooners into closer action while he steered Niagara toward the damaged British ships. Like Nelson's Victory at Trafalgar, Niagara broke the opposing line.
