 The " Little Bay " near the tip of the peninsula where the ships sheltered , next to the current Perry 's Monument , was later named " Misery Bay " because of the hardships during the winter of 1813 – 1814 , after the men returned there from battle . Many men suffered from smallpox and were kept in quarantine near the bay . A great many infected men died and were buried in what is now called Graveyard Pond .
