General Brock (wreck, 1846)

Pigeon Island, where the vessel ran aground, is in the NE quadrant of this map.

The General Brock was a sailing brig that ran aground on November 26, 1846, on Pigeon Island, Lake Ontario, in Canada.[1] Her crew were rescued by officials from the nearby naval base at Kingston, Ontario.

The wreck of the General Brock was one of the triggers for the construction of a lighthouse on the island, in 1870.[2]
