The British brought her into service as HM Schooner ''Chippawa'',Gen. Brock, military memo, 2 June 1813, to Provl.Lieut. Rolette, Commr. of "H.M.Schooner Chippawa"[sic]. sometimes recorded as ''Chippeway''. The United States later captured her at the [Battle of Lake Erie](/source/Battle_of_Lake_Erie), and brought her into service, as USS ''Chippewa''. A storm drove her aground in October 1813, where a British force burned her in December. ==Career== The small merchant schooner ''Chippawa'', built in [Chippawa, Ontario](/source/Chippawa%2C_Ontario), Canada,History of the City of Toledo and Lucas County, Ohio; 1888, Munsell & Co., New York.Early History of the Maumee Valley; L. Hosmer 1858 in 1810, was under the command of her builder Captain Anderson Martin or perhaps his brother Capt. Budd Martin,Dobbins papers; Buffalo (NY) Historical Society and trading on the Great Lakes. At the outbreak of the [War of 1812](/source/War_of_1812) she was ferrying supplies and furs. The British initially armed ''Chippawa'' with two guns, and brought her into the Provincial Marine under the command of Lieutenant Rollette. During the one-month armistice in August 1812, ''Chippawa'' carried General [Isaac Brock](/source/Isaac_Brock) on Lake Erie.Mansfield (1899), p.184 [[File:Battle of Lake Erie -- Commodore Perry's victory - Ballou's Pictorial 1856.jpg|thumb|Battle of Lake Erie, [Ballou's Pictorial](/source/Gleason's_Pictorial_Drawing-Room_Companion) 1856]] thumb|377x377px|Ship's Pennant captured by the Americans She was armed with only one gun and under the command of Master's Mate J.

The Americans then captured her and ''Little Belt'' while they were trying to escape.{{sfnp|Hepper |1994|p=147-8}} Her only casualty was Campbell, who was slightly wounded in the action.{{London Gazette|issue=16855|pages=330–332|date=8 February 1814}} The Americans took her into service as USS ''Chippewa'', under the command of Acting Midshipman Robert S. Tatem. She then carried the baggage of the 27th and 28th regiments of Infantry from [Put-in-Bay, Ohio](/source/Put-in-Bay%2C_Ohio). ==Fate== A storm on 12 October drove ''Chippewa'' ashore near [Buffalo](/source/Buffalo%2C_New_York).Mansfield (1899), Vol.1, p.585. A later storm on 25–26 October drove ''Little Belt'', ''Trippe'', and {{USS|Ariel|1813|2}} ashore too at Buffalo. All efforts to refloat them failed, and on 30 December the British landing party that captured the Navy yard at [Black Rock, New York](/source/Black_Rock%2C_New_York) (now a neighborhood of Buffalo), burned them during the [Battle of Buffalo](/source/Battle_of_Buffalo).{{London Gazette|issue=16862|page=438|date=26 February 1814}} ==Notes== {{Notelist}} ==Citations== {{reflist}} ==References== * {{Colledge: Ships RN|year=2006}} * ''DANFS'' - ''Chippewa'' (I):{{DANFS|http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/c8/chippewa-i.htm}} * {{cite book|last=Hepper|first=David J.|year=1994|title=British Warship Losses in the Age of Sail, 1650-1859|publisher=Jean Boudriot|location=Rotherfield|isbn=0-948864-30-3}} * Mansfield, John Brandt (1899) ''History of the Great lakes ...''.
