The sloop MOHAWK was an armed schooner built by the British Navy in 1756 in Oswego, New York. It had a single mast and was approximately 115 feet long, 18 feet wide, and 7 feet deep. As an armed vessel, it likely served a military purpose during its time.
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. Unfortunately, details about the loss of the MOHAWK, such as the number of casualties and specific circumstances, are not provided in the available information.
