Military Service:
Officer Felix Brouillard and the HM Schooner Helenne - by H. Bouzek - 2 pages.Brouillard family history - quebec Officer felix brouillard and The HM Schooner Helenne. The Helenne was built as a private cargo vessel in 1789 near Windsor, Ontario. During the War of 1812, she was contracted into service and played an important role as a supply ship. Commanded by Naval officer Lieutenant Commander Felix Brouillard for a brief period. in 1814, the ship was referred to as ''hm schooner helenne''. The commander was born and raised by father jean baptiste brouillard in yamaska, quebec. He was married twice and had several children. In September 1813 the battle of put-in-bay on lake erie allowed the traditional supply route to the upper great lakes to fall under American control and left the helenne as the sole surviving ship on the upper lakes. Unknown to the Americans, the ship immediately chose the nottawasaga river as their new supply route. This was a partially overland route from York (Toronto) north to the Holland river. From lake simcoe to lake huron the route was once used by Indians for generations - it was on the nottawasaga river that the helenne then received and transported supplies to the british garrison at fort mackinac, between lakes huron and michigan. American forces soon learned of this new british supply route and made plans to capture the helenne. A 360 mile canoe trip was made from fort mackinac to the nottawasaga river by a british scout, Daniel babcock (a young united empire loyalist of Kingston) with a message warning lieutant brouillard to hide the helenne up river away from approaching Americans. However, on Aug. 14, 1814, three American ships discovered the helenne. Despite a courageous battle by felix brouillard and daniel babcock, 22 seamen, 23 indians, and 9 french Canadian voyageurs, against some 500 american men, the helenne was set afire and sunk into the depths of the nottawasaga river. With her destruction the American forces hoped to starve the northern garrison at fort mackinac into surrender and gain control of the much desired upper great lakes. The charred hull of the schooner formed an obstruction in the nottawasaga river collecting sand and silt over 114 years, and aided in the formation of helenne island. You might think that the sinking of the HMS helenne was the end of the story, but you would be wrong. Brouillard abandoned the helenne when all appeared lost and hid the ship's boats upstream on the nottawasaga until the smoke cleared. They then commenced to row the distance of 360 miles up lake huron to fort mackinac. There they got help from the british garrison. A few nights later, they boarded two of the us ships, that had sunk the helenne, captured them and used them to re-establish british naval strength on lake huron. This action allowed the british to regain control of this vital route, hastening the end of the war and the signing of the treaty of ghent in 1814. Brouillard returned to Sorel, Richelieu, Quebec and babcock to Kingston, Ontario.
