The General Brock was a sailing brig that ran aground on November 26, 1846, on Pigeon Island, Lake Ontario, in Canada.[1] Her crew were rescued by officials from the nearby naval base at Kingston, Ontario.
The wreck of the General Brock was one of the triggers for the construction of a lighthouse on the island, in 1870.[2]
