Join us to learn about Wasaga aviation history and the connection to Amelia Earhart.On August 14, 1814, the schooner Nancy, while in the service of the British Navy, was destroyed in the Nottawasaga River. During the engagement with a fleet of American battleships anchored just offshore, the ship burned and sank. Some historians believe the events involving the story of HMS Nancy in Georgian Bay helped save Canada from becoming an American state.
