Oliver Hazard Perry

Hey there, I'm Oliver. I was born in Wakefield, Road Island and I was educated in Newport. I've been an avid fan of the sea since I was a young lad, and when I was fourteen I went to sea with my father aboard his vessel, the General Greene. I served in the Barbary wars and kicked some serious arab ass.At the outbreak of the War of 1812, I was in command of a gunboat floatilla in Newport, chilling and consorting with the local ladies. When I heard that there was to be a fleet built on Lake Erie, I jumped at the chance to get up there and take command. I spent some time in Buffalo, New York, eating wings and building boats with my crews. After the Army defeated the British around the Niagara Falls area, I was able to sail from Buffalo to the fleet's new base in Erie, Pennsylvania and finish my two killer brigs...the Lawrence and the Niagara.It didn't take long for the British to figure out what was going on, and sooner or later we had ourselves a battle. On the morning of September 10th, 1813, my fleet was anchored off South Bass Island near the Ohio shoreline, when lookouts spotted the damn English fleet making a run for it! I moved in to engage them, and things did not go well. My flagship, the Lawrence, got the stuffing kicked out of it. We only had one gun on board that'd fire! So rather than surrender like a wussy, I got into a rowboat with some of my dudes, and we rowed out to the Niagara. I sailed that bitchin' boat right through the British line and saved the day! It totally pissed England off, too. It was one of the only times in history that they lost an entire fleet of their ships to an enemy force.After the war, I was living it up. Life was goin great! After being given the command of my own Atlantic fleet, I decided to take a trip down to Venezuela. Unfortunately, I contracted Yellow fever and died ON MY BIRTHDAY in 1819. I was thirty-four! How fucked up is that? Dying on your birthday? It sucks. Anyways, I get pretty bored being a dead guy with a computer, so feel free to drop me a line and maybe we can even hang out or something. BUT PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE YOU ADD ME! I don't want some random harlot named "Sissy" who's close to nude in all of her pictures trying to add me. That is how chlamydia is spread.
