Details
Frédérick Rolette (23 September 1785 to 17 March 1831), born in Quebec City on 23 September 1785, was an officer of the Royal Navy who served in the Provincial Marine during the War of 1812. In command of the brig General Hunter at the outset of the conflict, his interception of the packet ship Cuyahoga Packet in July 1812 captured the papers of the American commanding officer William Hull which proved a windfall for British forces and eventually led to the fall of Detroit under Hull's command. However, he was captured after his ship was boarded and taken over by the Americans. He returned to British service after a prisoner swap and participated in the Battle of Frenchtown in 1813 as part of a naval artillery contingent. Serving as the second-in-command of the British schooner Lady Prevost at the Battle of Lake Erie, he took over captaincy of the vessel after the commanding officer was mortally wounded. Rolette was also significantly injured in the battle and was forced to surrender. He spent the rest of the war in captivity.
