The cere- mony took place at the cel.-` cation arranged for by the Nancy Com- mittee and held on the banks of the Nottawasaga. opposite where the recovered remains of this g`al- lant ship arevnow housed. It was on August 14. 181-1. that this ves- sel was burned to the water's edge in an attack by three United States. wars-hips and the anniver- sary was selected by the commit- tee as a tting (late on which to celebrate the noteworthy achieve- ments of the vessel and her crew. Three members of the Ferguson cabinet graced the occasion with their presence as did also the Pre- sident of the Ontario Historical Society. Most of the summer pop- ulation of Wasaga Beach were present and many from other parts of |Simcoe. including a large representation of County council- lors.
