She rests in a gloomy sub-basement under Cleveland's city hall. The Porcupine sailed out with Ccmmodore Oliver Hazard Perry on a September morning and helped fight the British to destruction off Put-in Bay. Sturdy and strong, she was not badly damaged and con-| | unued in government service many years. Lumber interes purchased her; she sank in a storm; a Michi- gan naval student raised her and sent her to the Put-in Bay centen- nial celebration of 1913; the latc Newton D. Baker brought her to Cleveland; and then she was “bur- ied” as officials moved into a new city hall. Forgotten in her basement, the Porcupine isn't a pretty sight for she is little more than a miscellane- cus pile of damp and rotting tim- bers, dotted with hand - wrought spikes and nails.
