Simcoe (ship)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Simcoe (also referred to as Governor Simcoe) was a schooner that was active on Lake Ontario during the War of 1812. She was named after John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada. She was briefly involved in a chase near Burlington, Ontario by USS Julia. She was not however a commissioned warship of the Royal Navy and so is not entitled to the prefix 'HMS'.
