HMS Toronto

HMS Toronto

HMS Toronto was a naval ship built by John Dennis (not the Naval Shipyards, York (Upper Canada)) at Humber River and Bloor Street in Toronto in 1799. Armed with four cannons, the ship was built to ferry government officials from York (Toronto) to Upper Canada's former capital of Newark (Niagara on the Lake). The ship's career was short and sank in 1811 off Hanlan's Point.
