Lawrence's sister brig, built at Presque Isle. Under Jesse Elliott she hung back for the first part of the battle of Lake Erie; Perry then took her over and sailed her through the British line to win it. Scuttled at Erie after the war, she was raised in 1913 and rebuilt, and a reconstruction still sails from Erie.
