Commodore O. Perry's initial flagship was the Brig Lawerence, when he set sail for Put-In-Bay. During the battle, the Lawerence was heavily damaged and the American fleet was in disarray. Commodore Perry hauled down his flag (DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP) and boarded one of the Lawerence's long boats, where he directed to the Brig Niagara. He hauled his flag up and resumed the battle. The US fleet (and the British), seeing in the Commodore's resolve, also solidified and forced the surrender of the British Great Lake's Fleet. Answer in short, the Brig Lawerence first, and then the Brig Niagara.
