Description
The Nelson was the largest gunboat with a 24-pdr. cannon and 32-pdr. carronade. Gunboats were used extensively by the British and the Americans in the fight for mastery of the St. Lawrence. They were versatile craft, but must have been miserable for the men, with their cramped and exposed conditions.
