After the victory on Lake Erie, citizens of Erie saluted Perry's men on their return to Presque Isle Bay, but celebration quickly gave way to the realities of war. The local courthouse became a makeshift hospital for the severely wounded, and Perry's remaining ships anchored in Misery Bay, where his men lived through the harsh winter of 1813-14. Formerly called Little Bay, the water took on its new name from the hardships the crew endured as they lived in cramped quarters, crossed the frozen bay to Erie for food and supplies, suffered constant exposure to the lake's cold blasts and poor living conditions, and saw many men fall sick and die. Several ships were later sunk in the bay, including the U.S. Navy brigs Niagara and Lawrence, preserved for possible future use, and Barclay's Detroit and Queen Charlotte. Legend holds that many of Perry's crewmen were buried at nearby Graveyard Pond. Of the 11 ships in the squadron, six were built at Erie: the schooners Ariel, Porcupine, Scorpion, and Tigress and the brigs Niagara and Lawrence; Perry obtained Caledonia, Amelia, Somers, Ohio, and Trippe from Black Rock, New York. Their later fates varied: Niagara was sunk in Misery Bay around 1822 and raised in 1913; Lawrence served through the rest of the war, then was sunk, raised, sunk again, raised again, and eventually cut in two and sent to Philadelphia for the centennial celebration; Ariel and Trippe were burned by the British at Black Rock; Porcupine became a merchant vessel in the Michigan area until about 1855, when she was allowed to sink; Scorpion and Tigress were captured by the British on Lake Huron in 1814; Caledonia became the merchant vessel General Wayne; Amelia, judged unseaworthy after reaching Erie, was scuttled in Misery Bay in 1813; and Somers and Ohio were captured by the British at Fort Erie in 1814.
