Statue of Matthew C. Perry. Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry commanded the expedition to negotiate a treaty with Japan in 1853-54, bringing the Japanese into commercial and diplomatic relations with the West after more than two centuries of isolation. Commodore Perry's long Navy career included service in the Mediterranean suppressing the Barbary pirates, service on the anti-slavery patrols in West Africa, and commander of naval forces in the gulf of Mexico during the Mexican War of 1846-48. Perry was very concerned with the education of naval officers and helped develop an apprentice system that helped establish the curriculum at the U.S. Naval Academy. With the advent of the steam engine, he became a leading advocate of modernizing the U.S. Navy and came to be considered The Father of the Steam Navy. The statue was commissioned by financier August Belmont and his wife Caroline, daughter of the Commodore. It was created by the prominent 19th centure American sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward.

Not sure what the 'FO" stands for... seems like it's missing a letter.

Ateel structure of The Commodore Barry Bridge also called the John Barry Bridge that crosses the Delaware River. While driving home last Friday I slowed downed and took this shot. Not the smartest thing I've ever done in rush hour traffic.
