First Battle of Sacket's Harbor

The First Battle of Sacket's Harbor (also spelled as Sackett's) 〔Roosevelt, 1883 pp.155, 228, 233, 251, etc〕 was a naval battle fought on July 19, 1812, between the American and British naval forces that resulted in the American forces repelling the attack on their town and the shipbuilding yard located there.
==Background==
Sacket's Harbor is located on Lake Ontario in Northern New York State. It was the chief shipbuilding yard for the United States during the War of 1812. It had a good strategic position on the lake, with abundant resources, and an excellent natural harbor which became the center of military and naval operations for the war's northern theater. Following the first battle, the town and harbor became a large and centralized military complex, with a fortification served by thousands of troops.〔Paine, 1920 pp.293-304〕
On Sunday, July 19, 1812, Captain Melancthon Taylor Woolsey, of , discovered from the masthead of his brig five enemy vessels sailing up Sacket's Harbor. The British vessels, which belonged to the Provincial Marine, were ''Royal George''; (24 guns), ''Prince Regent'' (22 guns), ''Earl of Moira'' (20 guns), ''Governor Simcoe'' (10 guns), and ''Seneca'' (2 guns). The British captured a merchant ship carrying flour nearby and sent its crew shore with the demands that the Americans surrender the USS ''Oneida'' and ''Lord Nelson'', a merchant ship ship that the Americans had captured before war was declared, and that if the Americans fired a shot at them they would burn the village of Sacket's Harbor.〔()〕
