US Hamilton and US Scourage Memorial Cruise

Beneath the cold waters of Lake Ontario lie two well-preserved shipwrecks of the War of 1812, wherein many sailors lost their lives. On the night of August 7-8, 1813, a sudden squall came over the American fleet stationed off Port Dalhousie, causing the schooners Hamilton and Scourge to capsize and sink. This event was the greatest single loss of life on the Great Lakes during the entire war. HMS Psyche will memorialize the loss of these sailors by firing a salute outside Port Dalhousie.

This is an in-costume event. Extra costume available if you don’t have any.

Location: St. Catharines Game and Fish Association Boat Ramp, Port Dalhousie (61 Lighthouse Rd, St. Catharines).
