Description: Construction of this ship began in the winter of 1812-13 and may have been one of the contributing factors in the Americans decision to attack the Town of York (the future site of Toronto, Ontario, Canada) in the spring of 1813. The "Isaac Brock" was destroyed by order of General Sheaffe as his forces retreated. Pen & ink over pencil, with watercolour and gouache.
