USS Eagle (1812)
USS ''Eagle'', a sloop, was a merchant ship purchased at Vergennes, Vermont on Lake Champlain in 1812 and fitted for naval service. The British captured her in 1813 and renamed her HMS ''Finch'', only to lose her to the Americans at the Battle of Lake Champlain in 1814. She was sold in 1815.
==American service and capture==
She cruised on the lake under the command of Sailing Master J. Loomis as a member of Commodore Thomas Macdonough's squadron blockading the British advance from Canada. Major George Taylor of the 100th Regiment captured ''Eagle'' on 3 June 1813 on the Sorrell River near Ile aux Noix on the Canadian side of the lake, after a fight of three-and-a-half hours; British casualties were three men wounded and American casualties were one man killed and eight severely wounded.〔Anon. (1908), pp.252-3.〕 (Both vessels were taken into Royal Navy service, but the Americans recaptured them the next year.) The British took her into the Royal Navy as HMS ''Shannon'' but later renamed her HMS ''Chubb''.〔
