Hamilton Markers: The Scourge and Hamilton

From HMdb.

"HAMILTON-SCOURGE PROJECT
WAR OF 1812 NAVAL MEMORIAL GARDEN

"We honour here fifty-three sailors who lost their lives  when their ships, HAMILTON and SCOURGE, capsized during a storm in the early morning hours of Sunday, 8th August 1813.  These two armed merchant schooners lie in  90 metres of water, 30 kilometres northeast of this site, intact, and perfectly  preserved with their guns and equipment still in place.

"A replica of the foremast of the SCOURGE is flanked by  fifty-three markers similar to those in Allied military cemeteries throughout the world."

These two ships were American.
