THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE
ISSUE 26 December 2016
Appendix II
A List of Anglo-American War of 1812 Land Battles, Actions, and
Engagements; Naval and Maritime Actions and those Engagements
involving Civilians, Native Peoples and Non-Combatants
Database compiled by Ralph Eshelman, Faye Kert, Sandy Antal, Jim Ellis, John Grodzinski, James
Cusick, Donald Hickey, Donald Graves, Gene Allen Smith and Gary Gibson
This database includes actions and engagements that occurred between November 1, 1811 and June 30, 1815
following the period of significance used by the United States National Park Service, American Battlefield
Protection Program, which begins with the Battle of Tippecanoe and ends with the last known naval engagement on
the Indian Ocean. The database is organized alphabetically by country, then by state or province (as well as Bay of
Fundy and Chesapeake Bay) and then by location and action followed by date. Ship engagements and captures
follow the country entries and are listed by chronology of action. Numbers in brackets after date refer to references
found at the end of the inventory; less used citations are included within the bracket. Sometimes, also within the
brackets, are ships names followed by “no.” and then a number from 1 to 1634. These numbers refer to Niles’
Weekly Register numbers assigned to vessel prizes. The same vessel was sometimes accidentally assigned more than
one number because of misspellings or unknown prize names. For actions where not even general location is known,
it is not included in this inventory but is included in the chronology. Military occupations, invasions and
withdrawals are not included here but are included in the chronology. Generally land incidents where no shots were
fired are excluded here but are included the chronology. It is understood that many vessel captures did not include
exchange of fire but these are included here. Vessel ransoms are also included because the vessels were initially
captured. For a full chronological listing including the above as well as selected political events, treaties, blockades,
etc. see Appendix I “War of 1812 Chronology”. For definitions of engagements such as battles, skirmishes, etc. see
footnote 15 in “Which War of 1812 Theaters of War Experience the Largest Number of Military Actions?”
We have chosen to use the words “British” and “Indian” in the database because they were the designations usually
used during the War of 1812. When we say British we are inclusive of all British allies, including Englishmen,
Scotsmen, Irishmen, North American British colonists and Indian allies. This does mean that all these allies were
necessarily involved in each action, they rarely were. When we use the term Indian we mean no disrespect to the
native, indigenous, aboriginal people of North America, also referred to as First Peoples in Canada. We are merely
using the common language of the time. When tribes are known we have retained their names but we acknowledge
that not all tribes might have been recognized for specific engagements. When the tribe is unknown we use Indian.
When the type of waterborne craft is unknown we use vessel. Abbreviations: Br. – British, Doc. Hist. –.The Naval
War of 1812: A Documentary History; HM – His or Her Majesty’s vessel; LG –London Gazette: PM – Provincial
Marine vessel; USRC – US Revenue Cutter. See Appendix I Chronology for province and state abbreviations.
This database includes minor and major engagements ranging from the killing of a lone individual to major battles
involving hundreds of individuals. The more important engagements are designated by a †. The senior author
maintains a file containing lists and compilations notes used to generate this database. The authors encourage others
to expand upon this work to not only make it more comprehensive but also to offer new insights from the data.

SHIP ENGAGEMENTS and CAPTURES
36
THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE
ISSUE 26 December 2016
This list does not include acts of impressment; many privateering activities do not include location of capture; when
three or more vessels operated together it is referred to as a squadron to save space; it is understood that tenders
from larger vessels often did the actual taking of prizes; sometime the flag vessel of a squadron is reported as the
taker of a prize when it was actually one of the other vessels of the squadron; sometimes a capture will be reported
by one vessel and then later by the flag vessel so dates vary; spelling of vessel names vary; and there were many
vessels with the same name. It is possible some groupings of captures under one privateer vessel could be multi
vessels with the same name. Hannings lists many vessel actions under a date when the incident actually took place
earlier. All prize captures listed as off Leeward Islands Station are designated Atlantic? because it is unclear if the
capture was in the Atlantic or Caribbean. All captures listed as off Jamaica Station are designated Caribbean. Some
sources such as Brian Arthur's How Britain Won the War of 1812 contain numerous errors. For these reasons it is
probable there are duplication of vessel captures below:

22. Bud Hannings, The War of 1812: A Complete Chronology with Biographies of 63 General Officers (Jefferson,

headings such as early July 1812 and August 1812. He does a good job of trying to distinguish between the
vessels with the same name. Hannings consistently uses the term brigantine when most other sources use

(Suffolk: The Boydell Press, 2011, Appendix A "Royal Naval Prizes sent to Halifax Nova Scotia between
18 June 1812 and 25 March 1815." Arthur adapted his list from Faye M. Kert, Prize and Prejudice:
Privateering and Naval Prize in Atlantic Canada in the War of 1812, 1997, Appendix 1. Use with caution,
many errors. I used the London Times vessel spellings, vessel type, and month and day of capture when
they differ from this appendix. Arthur in some cases identifies only one capture vessel when in many
instances there were two or more.

29. Timothy S. Good, American Privateers in the War of 1812: The Vessels and Their Prizes as Recorded in Niles'
Weekly Register (Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company, Inc. Publishers, 2012). Note that this source
eports dates of notice of captures in magazine, not actual date of capture. Takings include captures,
ransoms, burnings, etc. Many of these vessels were taken and retaken during the war. Niles numbers each
prize taken by American privateers. Niles states "The number of vessels captured and 'satisfactorily
accounted' for during a war of two years and eight months, is, 1634. There may be a few duplicates in our
lists; but there certainly are many omissions...I estimate at not less than 1,750; and the whole amount
captured at 2,500, allowing 750 to have been recaptured," p. 173. There are actually many duplicates, not
just a few. Niles also states "we think that 10 per cent added, would not embrace all the prizes actually
made," p. 128.

Note: The information presented here is as accurate as possible but there are no guarantees about the accuracy
because most of the dates and engagement descriptions are taken from other sources. As can be seen there is great
discrepancy in dates for some actions. Some of these differences are due to typos, but others are based on
differences of opinion and in some cases poor research or use of poorly researched sources.
