Until 1757 the French continued to dominate, but in 1758 Britain increased aid to its troops and won victories at Louisbourg, Fort Frontenac, and Fort Duquesne (Pittsburgh). The final British victory was at the Battle of Quebec (1759).
In the first failed attack not much resulted. (George Washington almost died) The second (successful) attack directed by Pitt turned the tide for the British. Fort Duquesne then became renamed Fort Pitt (becomes Pittsburgh).

Because of the Bombarding of Fort McHenry.
Fort Frontenac was created in 1673.
Fort Frontenac Library was created in 1947.
Battle of Fort Frontenac happened in 1758.
Officer at Fort Frontenac has written: 'A letter to the Right Honourable William Pitt, Esq., from an officer at Fort Frontenac' -- subject(s): Colonies, History
Frontenac was the governor of New France. He made a fort on or near lake Ontario, which took a lot of effort. Because the British lived near Lake Ontario and the British were the french's Enemy.
I don't think Fort Frontenac was ever "recaptured" or even captured by New Englanders. Fort Frontenac was built by the French in 1673 at the place where the St. Lawrence River leaves Lake Ontario, in order to protect its fur trade and supply route. The city of Kingston, Ontario (Canada) now occupies the spot. The Iroquois besieged the fort in 1688, and as a result the French abandoned it in 1689. They reoccupied it, however, in 1695. in August 1758, during the war between France and England known as the French and Indian War in America, 3,000 British troops left Fort Oswego, across Lake Ontario in what is now New York State, and attacked Fort Frontenac. The small French garrison quickly surrendered. After that, the fort was unoccupied until the Revolutionary War, when Loyalists fleeing the thirteen colonies settled in the area and the British rebuilt the fort for their protection. Fort Frontenac housed British troops during the War of 1812, but the fort was never attacked by U.S. forces.
The Commander at Fort McHenry during the British attack was Maj. George Armistead.

There was a couple sieges there. The first one was right after the building of the fort was completed. The first siege was on April 30th, 1813, and the second started when the British forces attack the for on July 21, 1813.
After a successful campain against the Washington, DC area, British forces decided to attack Baltimore, MD. Since Fort McHenry guarded the Baltimore harbor, the British would need to overcome the Fort's defenses to reach Baltimore and control its port. The attack on Fort McHenry was the execution of this battle campaign.
