May 29, 1813
The British had two objectives in attacking the U.S. navy base at Sackets Harbor: destruction of the shipyard and gaining relief from the continued American military pressure on the Niagara frontier. With its navy base destroyed, the American fleet would be hard pressed to resupply the American troops stationed at Niagara for the summer campaign of 1813.HM Number | HM1FPR |
