HMS Tecumseth

From Discovery Harbour site.

Built 1815 in Chippewa and transferred to Penetanguishene Bay Naval Shipyard to protect against Americans.  It was one of two warships located at the shipyard.  It eventually rotted and was reported sunk.

The remains were raised in 1953 and left outside until moved into the Discovery Harbour Centre where to today it is in a climate-controlled environment.

A replica of the ship is outside and is 124-feet long with a 70-foot deck and 24-foot beam, 150 tons.
