Information about Hms Fantome
HMS Fantome was a British Royal Navy brig which sunk near the village of Prospect, Nova Scotia on November 24, 1814. Fantome was escorting a convoy from British-occupied Castine, Maine to Halifax, Nova Scotia during the War of 1812. Two schooners in the convoy were also lost near the same location. No lives were lost. The wreck is believed by some to have had goods taken from the White House during the British raid on Washington, DC, although Fantome played no part in the raid.
