British Fort Haldimand was built in 1779 during the American Revolutionary War. It remained in British hands until the War of 1812, when it was captured and burned by New Yorkers. The protected harbor was the construction site for numerous British vessels used during the war, including the HMS Ontario, which was recently discovered intact on the bottom of the lake in 2008.
