Stephen Champlin, USN-- Part 2: Wounded and Captured on USS Tigress

After the battle, he was placed in command of two captured British vessels, the Queen Charlotte and Detroit.

In 1814, while commanding the USS Tigress, he worked the blockade of the port of Mackinac for several months.  Under attack by a larger British force of 400 sailors and Indians, he was wounded by cannon fire with a shot that passed through one thigh and into the other.

He was captured and suffered while being held by the British for 38 days before he was paroled and returned to Connecticut to recover.
