Navy Island Monument with Navy Island in the background Navy Island plaque with Navy Island in the background. The plaque reads: The British used navy Island from 1761 to 1764 as a shipyard in which to build the first British decked vessels to sail the upper lakes. These were essential in maintaining the supply lines westward during Pontiac's uprising, 1763-4. Thereafter the island remained undisturbed until 14 December 1837 when WilliamLyon Mackenzie, after being defeated in Toronto, led a "Patriot" army from Buffalo to occupy it. Swift reaction by local militia and British regulars prevented his moving to the mainland, and on 14 January 1838, facing a hopeless situation, he abandoned the island. -

Dufferin Islands Welcome Sign Dufferin Islands welcome sign : "Welcome to Dufferin Islands Natural Area. Prior to 1903 the Dufferin Islands area was a natural and relatively unspoiled fast-flowing watercourse that was an off-shoot caused by the inclination of the underlying rock formation towards the Canaddian side of the river. By 1920 diversion of water for the generation of electricity and the construction of many smaller islands in the channel turned the watercourse into a sedate, slow-flowing series of pools and ponds. the disturbed soil became an excellent seed bed for many plants, insluding non-native invasive alien plant species (IAS) such as Tree-of-Heaven, Norway maple and Purple Loostrife. In 2007 the Niagara parks Commission developed a management plan for Dufferin Islands to preserve the natural resources that still exist on the site. IAS are being removed and appropriate native plant species planted to increase the habitat quality. Interpretive trails are being upgraded and many interior trails have been closed to allow for natural regeneration for improved wildlife habitat. For more information visit www.Niagaraparksnature.com and please, stay on the gravel trails." -

Fort George Plaque Plaque at Fort George: "Fort George. Constructed by Lieutenant Govenor Simcoe 1796-99, Fort George served as headquarters for Major-General Brock in 1812. In May 1813 it was bombarded and captured by the Americans who constructed fortifications of their own on the site. These in turn were retaken by the British in December 1813. In 1815 Fort George was described as 'tumbling into ruins' and ordered abandoned. The present works are a reconstruction done in 1937-40, and represent this fort as it was in 1799-1813. Only the magazine of the original fort remains." -

Ford Tri-Motor Miss Niagara of Skyview Airlines at Chippawa airfield "On July 4, 1928, " Sky View Lines, " inaugurated sightseeing flights, at night, over the " Niagara Falls. " The pilot, Major Leach, flying a " Ford Tri-Motor Airplane, " took off in the dark and in a few moments was over the " Falls "... the mighty " Horseshoe " clothed in rainbow shades... seemed only a few feet away. The " American Falls " were resplendent in white lights, while a white searchlight played on the big plane, which had the appearance of a mighty silver fish, while the moon looked on. Fifty people made the trip that night, among the earliest tourists to see the illuminated Falls, from the air. " Sky View Lines" had their landing field just south of " Chippawa, " on the " Niagara River Boulevard. F. H.Leslie Niagara Falls Review" -
