when did the battle of fort erie happen
With a fort on St. Joseph Island at the entrance to Lake Superior, they now in Wellington âs words controlled âthe navigation of the Lakesâ. All this changed with The Battle of Lake Erie on September 10 th 1813. Before the war a military transport service called Provincial Marine supplied Amherstburg. It had two brigs, the HMS Hunter and the HMS Caledonia, and a sloop, the HMS Queen Charlotte; they were not warships and the crews were small and not trained for battle.
