A trophy of the Battle of Lake Erie... The lost Cleveland cannon

A while ago I noticed that there was a park near the site of Fort Huntington in Cleveland (which is to say, downtown near the river) that sports a statue of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. Once upon a time, one of the cannon that the British took from Fort Amherstburg and mounted on the HMS Detroit also stood on the square, as seen in photos from the 1870s




However, there is only a 30-pounder Parrott naval gun dating from the Civil War period (and mislabeled as a War of 1812 cannon!) sitting at the park now. What happened to the original gun, a priceless trophy of the most decisive naval battle of the War of 1812?



One Internet tip leads me to believe it ended up at the Maritime Museum in Erie, Pennsylvania, the home of the Brig Niagara. There were more guns captured at the battle and scattered at different points throughout the Midwest. Detroit has one or two at their maritime museum. Perhaps your local  town square, city hall or county courthouse is distinguished by such a cannon, its origins long forgotten?
