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. 50 sailors were lost. 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 (1812 kit) event. Extra costume available if you don’t have any.

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