USS Ranger (Ontario)

USS Ranger was a 14-gun brigantine that served in the U.S. Navy from 1814 to 1821.

Ranger, likely either a former privateer or converted merchant vessel, was purchased on Lake Ontario in 1814. She was assigned to Commodore Isaac Chauncey's squadron in the War of 1812 as a tender and troop transport. She was condemned as being unfit for repairs or further service and was sold off on 15 May 1821; her fate afterwards is unknown.
