===Raid at St. Marys River=== For much of the War of 1812, Sinclair was assigned to the [[Great Lakes]] as part of Commodore [[Isaac Chauncey]]'s squadron, where he commanded the warship ''[[USS General Pike|General Pike]]'' in an engagement on [[Lake Ontario]] on 28 September 1813. For his valor during another engagement on [[Lake Erie]] in 1813, Sinclair received a presentation sword from the [[Commonwealth of Virginia]] (now in the [[Virginia Historical Society]]'s collection). In 1814, he commanded ''[[USS Niagara (1813)|Niagara]]'' on [[Lake Huron]] and [[Lake Superior]] and directed the naval squadron in the [[Battle of Mackinac Island]] and the [[Engagement on Lake Huron]]. Sinclair conducted a hit-and-run raid at [[St. Marys River (Michigan–Ontario)|St. Marys River]], [[Upper Canada]], capturing a small merchantman, the ''Mink''. After capturing the merchantman in the raid, Arthur Sinclair withdrew back to American lines in [[Michilimackinac]].<ref>"The A to Z of the War of 1812" by Robert Malcomson page.498.</ref>
