| On April 27th, 1813, the US launched an amphibious assault on the main British port of York on the Great Lakes. The British were unprepared for the assault but did launch a counterattack destroying the main magazine and causing 200 American casualties before they themselves had to withdraw due to a lack of personnel. It was a heavy blow to lose the dockyard and stores that York provided the fleet on the Great Lakes. |
