Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial 佩里胜利与国际和平纪念塔
The Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial quarter is the 17th design in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. The memorial became a national site on March 3, 1919.
第十七枚美国美丽25美分流通硬币的设计主题是佩里胜利与和平纪念塔。纪念塔于1919年3月3日成为国家遗址公园。
This memorial has two purposes: to honor those who fought in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812 and to celebrate the long-lasting peace among Britain, Canada, and the United States. Five miles from the memorial lies the border between Canada and the United States, the longest undefended border in the world.
这个纪念塔有二个目的:一是为了纪念那些在1812年战争的伊利湖战役中英勇作战的将士,二是为了庆祝英国、加拿大、美国之间的持久和平。该纪念塔位于加拿大与美国边境之间,它是世界上最长的不设防的边界,长达5英里。
The memorial is a Doric column that rises over Lake Erie in Ohio. The name "erry" refers to Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry, who led the Americans in the battle. Six naval officers (three American and three British), who were slain during the battle, are buried under the rotunda of the memorial.
纪念塔是多利安式的圆柱建筑物,它在俄亥俄州的伊利湖上冉冉升起。“佩里”这一名称是指在这场战役中的主要指挥官美国人奥利弗·哈泽德·佩里。在这次战役中有6名海军军官(美国3名、英国3名)阵亡,他们被安葬在纪念塔的中央大厅。
A second part of the memorial is a statue of Oliver Perry. The design shows the statue with the Peace Memorial column in the distance. At 352 feet in height, the column is one of the tallest of its kind in the United States.
纪念塔的第二部分是奥利弗·佩里的雕像。硬币上的图案显示了雕像与远处的和平纪念塔。该塔是美国同类建筑物中最高的之一,高达352英尺。
