Kingston Royal Naval Dockyard, Naval dockyard and national historic site in Kingston, Canada
The Kingston Royal Naval Dockyard spans 37 hectares at the meeting point of Cataraqui and St. Lawrence Rivers, featuring limestone buildings and military structures.
From 1788 to 1853, this Royal Navy base served as the primary British naval establishment on Lake Ontario, opposing the American base at Sackets Harbor.
The site includes the Stone Frigate building from 1819, the Commandant's House, and a Guard House from 1838, representing British military architecture.
Visitors can explore the museum at Fort Frederick, which maintains a collection of naval artifacts and provides information about military operations.
The dockyard constructed HMS St. Lawrence, the only First Rate Royal Navy Ship-of-the-Line that sailed on Lake Ontario during the War of 1812.
