SIR JAMES LUCAS YEO
1782-1818

Born in Southampton, England, Yeo entered the British Navy, served
throughout the Napoleonic Wars and won rapid promotion by his
ability. In 1813, already a Commodore, he came to Canada to command
British forces on the Great Lakes. Yeo successfully blockaded the
American fleet in Sackett's Harbour for some months and subsequently
commanded the naval forces at the capture of Oswego in 1814. Return-
ing to England after the war he was posted to the West African Coast
and died at sea while returning from that tour of duty.

Né à Southampton (G.-B), Yeo entra dans la Marine royale. Ses exploits
au cours des guerres napoléoniennes lui valurent un avancement
rapide. En 1813, il prit le commandement, à titre de commodore, des
troupes britanniques des Grands Lacs. Yeo organisa le blocus de la
flotte américaine a Sackett`s Harbour et le maintint pendant quelques
mois, avant de commander les forces navales lors de la prise d`Oswego
en 1814. Rentré en Angleterre après la guerre, il fut envoyé à la cote
ouest de l’Afrique. Il mourut en mer pendant le voyage de retour.
