USS Detroit (1813)

USS Detroit was a 12-gun corvette in the United States Navy and was named after the city of Detroit, Michigan.

Detroit was built by the British at Malden, Canada, in 1813 and captured by the United States during the Battle of Lake Erie on 10 September 1813. She was so badly damaged that she was taken into Put-in-Bay, Ohio, to prevent her sinking. She was laid up at Erie, Pennsylvania until sold in 1825.
