	James Lucas Yeo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Lucas Yeo (1782-1818) was a British Naval commander who served in the War of 1812.
		Yeo was born in Southampton October 7, 1782 and joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman at the age of 10.
		As was customary in the case of the loss of a ship from any cause, Yeo was court martialled, but the court accepted that the reef on which he was wrecked was not charted, nor were the local currents documented, and Yeo was exonerated.

		Yeo was promptly appointed to command the Confiance, an action which was as promptly endorsed by the Admiralty.
		Yeo, however, held effective control of the lake and rendered valuable assistance to the army until 23 July, when his opponent Commodore Isaac Chauncey sailed from Sackets Harbor with a powerful squadron led by his new ship, the 28-gun General Pike.
		But the war was still raging, and Yeo limited his formal reaction to the Lake Champlain disaster to a report addressed to the Admiralty on 29 September which clearly implicated Prevost as the author of Downie’s tragedy.

		James says many British were discovered among her crew, instancing especially one sailor named Jack Lang; now Jack Lang was born in the town of Brunswick, New Jersey, _but had been impressed and forced to serve in the British Navy_.
		James, however, is of the opinion that those ships manned by Americans were more apt to be captured than those manned by the braver British; which calls for an examination of the crews of the remaining vessels.
		When she was captured, James says that in one of her lockers was found a letter, dated in February, 1811, from Robert Smith, the Secretary of War, to Captain Evans, at Boston, directing him to open houses of rendezvous for manning the _Chesapeake_, and enumerating her crew at a total of 443.

	Isaac Chauncey - LoveToKnow 1911
		In May Sir James Lucas Yeo (1732-1818) came out from England with some Soo officers and men, to organize a squadron for service on the Lakes.
		The retreat of the British force gave Chauncey time to complete this vessel, the " General Pike," which was so far superior to anything under Yeo's command that she was said to be equal in effective strength to the whole of the British flotilla.
		Sir James Yeo began by blockading Sackett's Harbor in the early part of 1814, but when the American squadron was ready he was compelled to retire by the disparity of the forces.

	War of 1812 Naval Article by Robert Malcomson author of Lords of the Lakes.
		Commodore Yeo is supposed to have ordered his squadron to charge headlong into the surf pounding the sandbar that encloses Hamilton Harbour where the ships landed safe and sound.
		Snider’s highly romanticized depiction of naval events showed Yeo threatening his pilot with death if he could not get the squadron through "the cut" in the sandbar "on the crest of a comber." In the preface to the book, Snider claimed that his tales came "from the logs and letters" of the officers involved.
		Yeo also had his vessels prepared to fend off an attack by Chauncey, and the army appears to have sent artillery to cover the squadron.

	History of the Great Lakes. Volume I
		Sir James Yeo was opposed to the retreat, but Sir George Prevost was his superior officer, and nothing but retreat could be done by the fleet, the order having been given; and from this cause there was strong animosity between these two officers during the rest of the war.
		Yeo was too careful about engaging, preferring to steer away from Chauncey, but Chauncey had a great advantage on account of his long guns.
		Yeo spent most of the remainder of the season blockaded in Kingston; but there was yet one more slight engagement on October 5, when Chauncey, while near False Duck islands, discovered seven British vessels transporting troops.

		For others, such as the American Isaac Chauncey and his British arch-rival, James Lucas Yeo, it was an ever-escalating game of maritime one-upmanship.
		James Yeo, British naval commander of Lake Ontario, took advantage of Chauncey's absence to launch an invasion of Sackett's Harbour.
		Chauncey, it was said, feared defeat more than he craved victory, while Yeo's Lake Ontario monopoly on both manpower and supplies was blamed, at least in part, for British Captain Robert Barclay's loss in the Battle of Lake Erie.
