[3] In early January 1814, Collier and his crew volunteered to reinforce the squadron on the Great Lakes, together with men from Fantome and Thistle.

Seventy men left Halifax; they reached Kingston, Ontario on 22 March, having traveled some 900 miles in winter, almost entirely on foot.

They then sailed up the Potomac to bombard Fort Washington while Vice-Admiral Alexander Cochrane landed the army at Benedict, Maryland on the Patuxent River on 19 and 20 August.

They left at 9 o'clock in the evening of the next day and returned to Nottingham, Maryland on the Patuxent where Cochrane boarded Manly.

Between 12 and 15 December 1814, Captain Nicholas Lockyer of HMS Sophie led a flotilla of 45 boats, barges, lunches, and gigs to attack the US gunboats.

[11] He drew his flotilla from the fleet that was massing against New Orleans, including the 74-gun third-rate Tonnant, Armide, Seahorse, Manly, and Meteor.

In 1821 the survivors of the flotilla shared in the distribution of head-money arising from the capture of the American gun-boats and sundry bales of cotton.

Following the peace, Manly landed Mr Williamson of Albion, the purveyor of the squadron, at Savannah, Georgia in April to buy provisions.
