Summary:  HMS Fantome was an 18-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy. She had originally been a French privateer brig named Fantôme, which the British captured in 1810 and commissioned into British service. Fantome saw extensive action in the War of 1812. Approximately 3:30am on 24 November 1814, Fantome ran aground close to the shore within what is now called Phantom Cove, off Prospect High Head, near the tip of the peninsula between Shad Bay and Prospect Bay, on the south eastern shore of Nova Scotia, about 15 kilometers from metropolitan Halifax. The brig was escorting a convoy from British-occupied Castine, Maine to Halifax, Nova Scotia. On the evening of 23 November the ship's commander, Thomas Sykes, ordered that a course be set for the Sambro Light. At 2am the next morning he ordered a depth sounding and when it showed only 35 fathoms, ordered a change of course. An hour later, when he came back on deck he discovered that the pilot had countermanded his order. Soon after she struck, Sykes had the masts cut away and the boats hoisted over the sides, but Fantome rapidly filled with water. The crew took to the boats in an orderly manner and all reached the shore safely. Other authors:  Seahorse Cultural Resource Management Serivices.
