First Battle of Sackets Harbor-- Part 1: An American Victory

From Wikipedia.

The battle was fought July 19, 1812 when a British attack was repelled and the important shipyard where eventually 12 American warships were built was saved.

Sackets Harbor is on the southeast shore of Lake Ontario in northern New York state.

Following the battle, the defenses of Sackets Harbor were greatly strengthened.  Eventually there were several thousand troops stationed in and around Sackets Harbor as well as some 3,000 people working at the Navy shipyard.

As a result, during this period of time Sackets Harbor became the fourth largest town in the state.
