Ontario was built on Carleton Island in the St Lawrence River during the American Revolutionary War. Launched 10 May 1780, she operated under the Provincial Marine as an armed transport. At the time, Ontario was the largest British warship on the Great Lakes. She was use to ferry troops, supplies and prisoners from one remote part of New York to another until she sank in a storm on 31 October 1780. Ontario never saw battle. Her fame is due to being found in remarkably good shape at a depth of 500 feet or 150 meters in June of 2008.

Vol, you have made another masterpiece with so much of the model scratchbuilt. If I had your talent and 3D printer, I would be building fleets for Trafalgar.
And that would be fantastic Jon, then I would have someone to play with!
Thank you for the kind words. Did you see the last two I built? Le Bucentaure and Diane?
I did see your last two beauties. I thought I commented???
Well, if you ever want someone to push your fine collection of ships over the table in a game, let me know. I am standing by the phone...
Haha, no I didn't see any
I echo Jonathan's comments, another masterpiece, she looks great!
Best Iain
