Sinking of HMS Reindeer
The sinking of HMS Reindeer was a naval action of the War of 1812 which took place on 28 June 1814. The ship-rigged sloop of war USS Wasp forced the Cruizer-class brig-sloop HMS Reindeer to strike her colours after far more than half the brig's crew, including her captain, Commander William Manners, were killed or wounded. Reindeer was too badly damaged in the action to be salvaged so the Americans burnt her.
