Conflict on the Great Lakes and the Legacy of Point Frederick

Beschreibung

In 1789, the first dockyard was built at Point Frederick opposite present-day Kingston, Ontario. French and British shipwrights made warships that forced Americans into port in 1814, leading to their withdrawal from Canada. The dockyard was closed in 1853. It is now the home of the Royal Military College.
