Stephen Champlin, USN-- Part 4: Again Commanded the USS Porcupine


In 1816, he again commanded the USS Porcupine and participated in the mapping of the United States-Canada border under the Treaty of Ghent.

He served in the U.S. Navy until 1855, when he retired from service.  In 1862, he was promoted to the rank of commodore on the retired list.

The rest of his life he suffered tremendously from the wound he received in 1814.

He died 20 February 1870.
