This statue in Tuoro Park, Newport RI commemorates Commodore Matthew C. Perry (1794-1858), who is most famous for leading a flotilla of US warships into Japanese waters, forcing an end to the country’s 250 years of isolationism. A prime example of Gunboat Diplomacy, Perry’s arrival caused consternation in Japan, leading to the signing of Convention of Kanagawa. This opened up Japanese ports to trade with the United States and other western nations. Submissive Japanese plenipotentiaries are depicted on the frieze at the base of the statue.
The statue is the work of sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward and was completed in 1869. The pedestal was designed by Richard Morris Hunt, who gained later fame for designing several of Newport’s Gilded Age mansions.
Creator/Photographer: U.S. Navy
Dates as Chief: 1842 - 1844
Description: Commodore Lewis Warrington, the first chief of the Bureau of Navy Yards and Docks. From 1826 to 1830, Warrington served as one of three commissioners on the Navy Board, a body charged with the administration of naval materiel. Afterwards, Warrington returned to Norfolk Navy Yard to serve as commandant. In 1840, he was reassigned to Washington for another two years as commissioner on the Navy Board. After the 1842 reorganization of the Navy Department, Warrington became first Chief of the Bureau of Navy Yards and Docks.
On February 28, 1844, Warrington became interim Secretary of the Navy for a month after Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer died as a result of wounds received when the large cannon "Peacemaker" exploded during a firing demonstration on board the Princeton. In 1846, he became Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, an office he held until his death on October 12, 1851.

For the past couple of days, I've been getting into some designing on Forza Motorsport 7, and I figured I may as well do something Australian. What I have done is recreated the livery of Peter Brock's VH Commodore that won the 1982 James Hardie 1000 on the 2017 VF Commodore.
Personally, I'm happy with how it turned out. It took some time creating some decals so I could actually share this on the Storefront, but I got there in the end.
EDIT: I've chosen to make this a thing, now. There's more on the way...
Some of the most wonderfully amusing figures in history are the most obnoxious. Perry is celebrated on both sides of the Pacific for his great deed in quote-unquote "opening" Japan.
But, from what little I understand of his biography, he was actually quite an ass. Firstly, he didn't want to go to Japan in the first place. Secondly, well, gunboat diplomacy. But I don't know if we can really blame him for that, so much as the time, the culture, etc... Though, his orders were, if I remember correctly, something along the lines of using force as a last resort, or being ordered not to use force at all, but to handle negotiations with the Japanese peacefully. Something like that.
In any case, while I'm not as knowledgeable about the fine details of the events of Perry's activities in Japan, I can say that while in Ryukyu just shortly prior, he presented himself as a right asshole, insisting upon seeing the king despite being refused numerous times (the king was, in fact, far too young to be meeting with anyone); he physically forced his way into Shuri Castle, only to find (of course) that the king was nowhere to be found - the regent met him there, to say, essentially, "okay, now that you've busted your way in, now what? The king's not here. Will you meet with me, or what?" ... And, at the end of everything, he demanded gifts (tribute, really) from the kingdom, taking, among other things, a 400-or-so-year-old temple bell, a real historical treasure, and bringing it back to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, where it would be rung at football games up until the 1980s or so, when it was finally returned to Okinawa.
So, yeah. Perry's a great guy. A great guy to study, anyway. Wonderful, hilarious, incredible anecdotes. He'll make a great guy to talk about to my intro history students.
Sets a good example for Gen. MacArthur, roughly a century later, to also show up to Japan and act like a right asshole.
