On 12 August 1814, Ohio was captured along with the schooner by the British within pistol shot of Fort Erie. Somers was renamed Huron while Ohio was renamed Sauk. "[T]he Sauk (ex-Ohio) and Huron (ex-Somers) were taken up Chippewa Creek and submerged in one of its tributaries, Street's Creek, just in case the American tried to recapture them in a raid across the Niagara." The schooners were raised and refitted in the spring of 1815. They both wintered at the Royal Navy station at the mouth of the Grand River.
