Wondering what that statue in Eisenhower Park is for?

The statue showing the quote "We have met the enemy and they are ours" by Admiral Oliver Hazard Perry from the naval victory of American forces in the Battle of Lake Erie over the British on 9/10/1813 during the war of 1812.

A ferocious battle with around 80% casualties on the American side, the battle turned the tide in the war and greatly diminished the British and Native American power in the area which may have held back American expansion to the west.

The statue erected in 1885, was a winning design by a Newport local William Green Turner during a competition sponsored by the city.
