The H.M.S. OSWEGO was an armed sloop constructed by the British Navy in 1755 in Oswego, New York. With a single mast, it had a length of approximately 43 feet, a beam of 15 feet, and a depth of 7 feet. The vessel was built using wood as its primary hull material.
In 1756, during a military engagement, the H.M.S. OSWEGO was captured by the French forces at Oswego, New York. Following its capture, the ship was subsequently burned, resulting in its destruction. The available information does not provide further details about the circumstances of its capture or the exact events surrounding its burning.
In 1756, during a British naval engagement with the French Great Lakes fleet, the MOHAWK was captured by the French Navy on Lake Ontario. Subsequently, the ship was burned, resulting in its destruction. The exact specifications of the vessel, including its tonnage and armament, are not available.
During the same engagement, several other British vessels were also reportedly lost, including the OSWEGO, ONTARIO, GEORGE, VIGILANT, LONDON, and HALIFAX.
