The British ship Leopard fired upon and then seized the US ship Chesapeake, taking 4 men it claimed were British deserters.
The HMS Leopard attacked the US frigate Chesapeake in 1807 because the British were searching for deserters from the Royal Navy who they believed were on board the Chesapeake. When the commander of the Chesapeake refused to allow a search to take place, the Leopard fired upon the American ship, causing casualties and damage. This incident contributed to the growing tensions between the United States and Britain and eventually led to the War of 1812.
