Perhaps the most dramatic moment in the war for Nova Scotia was when led the captured American frigate USS "Chesapeake" into Halifax Harbour (1813). The captain of the "Shannon" was injured, and Nova Scotian Provo Wallis took command of the ship to escort the "Chesapeake" to Halifax. Many of the prisoners were kept at Deadman's Island, Halifax. At the same time, there was s traumatic capture of the American privateer "Young Teazer" off Chester, Nova Scotia.
