HMS Ontario-- Part 1: American Revolution


While researching the HMS Toronto, I came across this ship.  It was one that operated for a short time during the American Revolution and since this was also a war between the United States and Britain, I will go ahead and write about it.

From Wikipedia.

A British warship that sank in a storm in Lake Ontario during the American Revolution.  It was the largest British warship on the Great Lakes at the time.

It's wreck had been searched for for many years and was found by Jim Kennard and Dan Schoville in 2008 in remarkably good condition.
