Ghost ships of the war of 1812

In August 1813, Commodore Issac Chauncey of the U.S. Navy led his squadron of 11 vessels against a Royal Navy fleet of six vessels under the command of Commodore Sir James Lucas Yeo.
VIOLENT SQUALL
As night fell on Aug. 7, the two fleets were becalmed about 11 kilometers off Port Dalhousie in Lake Ontario. In the early hours of Aug. 8, a sudden violent squall capsized two schooners from the American fleet, Hamilton and Scourge. The vessels sank in 50 fathoms (90 m).
LARGEST LOSS OF LIFE
Over 50 sailors lost their lives, making this the largest single loss of life on Lake Ontario during the War of 1812. The vessels remain on the bottom of Lake Ontario, preserved by the cold, dark waters. The schooners, their contents and surrounding area are a National Historic Site administered by the City of Hamilton in the province of Ontario, Canada.
On Sunday, Aug. 9, 2015, the American Legion Color Guard from Canada County placed U.S. gravemarker flags at the gravestone of each U.S. sailor who perished in 1813, who are buried at the Navy Memorial Garden in Confederation Park in Hamilton, Ontario.
