VERY FINE WAR OF 1812 LETTER SENT FROM SCOTLAND TO NEW YORK, CAPTURED EN ROUTE BY THE BRITISH ROYAL NAVY AND TAKEN TO VICE ADMIRALTY COURT IN NOVA SCOTIA, BEFORE BEING RELEASED.
The HMS La Hogue was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the British Royal Navy. It was launched on October 3, 1811, and was named for the 1692 Battle of La Hogue. According to the 1922 book The Blackwell Frigates by Basil Lubbock, "The La Hogue of 1811...sported a green and chocolate lion, its grinning mouth displaying rows of white teeth and a huge red tongue." During the War of 1812, while under the command of Thomas Bladen Capel, La Hogue was active in capturing American privateers and other vessels attempting to reach America.
