On 19 October, while in transit to Niagara, "Prince Regent" was hit by lightning. The following day, the squadron arrived and began the disembarkation. "St Lawrence"s arrival led Chauncey withdrawing his squadron to Sackett's Harbor and never returned in force to Lake Ontario for the rest of the war. On 1 November, "Prince Regent" sailed as escort to a convoy transporting infantry reinforcements to Fort George. The vessel then sailed to York, Upper Canada to embark troops returning to Kingston. Following the war, on 9 December 1814, the frigate was renamed "Kingston". In January 1816, command of "Kingston" was given to Captain Sir Robert Hall. In 1817, "Kingston" was paid off into the ordinary as a result of the Rush-Bagot Treaty which demilitarized the Great Lakes. The vessel was ordered to be sold in January 1832. However, no buyers were found and the vessel sank in Deadman Bay in the mid-1830s. The wrecksite, along with those of "St Lawrence" and "Princess Charlotte" were designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2015. Notes Citations Bibliography
