Legend of the Lake is the story of the building, launching, and foundering of Ontario during 1779-80, reconstructed from archival documents, including British Admiralty plans for the ship, upon which renowned maritime architectural draughtman John W. McKay has based his scale drawings of Ontario. These drawings will be of special interest to model builders. The book also features full-color paintings of Ontario and her sister ship Limnade by Peter Rindlisbacher, as well as portraits of soldiers and seamen. Of special interest to maritime historians is a full description of the techniques and materials used in building the ship as well as a list of shipwrights employed on Carleton Island. For the social historian, the book presents a picture of daily life at Fort Haldimand on Carleton Island and on board a lake vessel. For the military historian, the book provides a description of Ontario's armament and accounts of the various regiments involved in dockyard defence and conducting raids against northern New York. And for all readers, Legend of the Lake is a captivating tale of high adventure and mystery.
