John Dennis, Master Shipbuilder-- Part 4: After the War

In 1814, he was approached to build gunboats at Penetanguistene but declined saying he would have too big of a problem finding skilled workmen for a post that far out on the frontier.

He spent the rest of his life at York, Upper Canada (today's Toronto).  During the that time, he acquired much property, continued to build ships and got involved in politics.
