"STONEY CREEK Few probably remember there was a maritime component to the Battle of Stoney Creek, but Gill Bibby does.
Following the pivotal battle in the War of 1812 on June 6, 1813 — which many say saved Upper Canada from being conquered — the Americans retreated towards the Niagara River. They camped along Forty Mile Creek, but were bombarded by a British fleet offshore in Lake Ontario commanded by Captain Sir James Yeo."
