USS Ticonderoga (1814)

[2] Commanded by Lt. Stephen Cassin, Ticonderoga compelled sloop HMS Chubb (formerly USS Growler) to surrender after riddling her with shot and forcing her aground.

[3] She also assisted in the capture of sloop HMS Finch (formerly USS Eagle), and repelled several boarding attempts by British gunboats.

Midshipman Hiram Paulding was on board Ticonderoga during the battle and used his pistol to discharge a cannon when firing matches proved defective.

She was rediscovered in 1958, raised and "salvaged" the next year; the wooden remains of this historic vessel are now on public display in Whitehall, New York.
