Adams (brig)
The Adams was a 200-ton brig purchased for the US Navy during the summer of 1812 by General William Hull, the Army commander at Detroit, Michigan to add to the defenses of that forward outpost. However, before the ship could be armed Hull surrendered her along with Detroit on 16 August 1812.
