I've got a couple American books on the War of 1812, so I'll see if there's anything new to add from them. Hog Farm Talk 22:46, 1 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Potentially worth quoting: Donald R. Hickey The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict p. 195 Had the conflict lasted another year, five of the most powerful warships in the world [St. Lawrence, Wolfe, Canada, Chippewa, and New Orleans] would have been concentrated within thirty-five miles of each other at Kingston and Sackets Harbor on an inland lake with no access to the sea (my other source only obliquely mentions the Wolfe-class ships, merely referencing the laying down of two 120-gun ships, although it does state that St. Lawrence was poorly built). I can provide further bibliographic details for Hickey if you do want to include something from that quote
 * I could put that in for sure, if you'd be kind enough to provide the necessary details


 * I'm assuming this is an American/British discrepancy I can't explain, but I find it odd that the American sources put a period after "St" in St Lawrence, but the British sources apparently don't
 * Assume also, really not my wheelhouse! Interestingly Winfield actually spells it out as "Saint Lawrence"


 * "These ships were designed by Thomas Strickland, a shipwright who had been sent from England to assist in the first rate program" - I'm guessing "These ships" are the British ones, but the immediate context of where this sentence is located would suggest the American ones
 * Rephrased


 * Body has depth of hold at 18' 5", infobox has 18' 4"
 * Corrected, the latter is right


 * Add to Category:Great Lakes ships?
 * Added

 * - I've added the long citation for Hickey 2012. The quote is on p. 195. Hog Farm Talk 18:10, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
