HMS Toronto


From Wikipedia.

One of the first ships John Dennis built was the HMS Toronto for Upper Canada's Provincial Marine.

Royal Navy schooner built by John Dennis at York, Upper Canada, on the Humber River in August 1799.  Mounted four cannons.

Built to ferry government officials from York (Toronto) to Upper Canada's former capital at Newark (Niagara-by-the-Lake).

Had a short career when wrecked off Hanlon's Point in 1811 and broken up.
