Lake Ontario was a standoff: the two navies, the British based in Kingston and the American in Sackettâs Harbour, NY, never fought one another; each patrolled its side of the lake. There were occasional raids, notably the American attack on York, now Toronto, which had consequences for the Battle of Lake Erie. The cannon intended for the HMS Detroit, which was being built in Amherstburg, were seized and carried off. The British navy controlled Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan and, with a fort on St. Joseph Island, the entrance to Lake Superior. With the surrender of Michigan and the island of Michilimackinac, the eastern shoreline of Lake Michigan and the entire shoreline of Lake Huron were now British.
