It is from a Victorian history book of c.1900. The Caroline affair (or case) was an international incident involving the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Canadas. It began on December 28, 1837, when hundreds of Americans who had been recruited by Upper Canada Rebellion leader William Lyon Mackenzie encamped on Navy Island on the Canadian side of the Niagara River. They had been brought there by the small American steamer Caroline, which had made several trips that day between Navy Island and Schlosser, New York. Late that night, a British force crossed the Niagara River to board and capture the vessel where it was moored at Schlosser's Landing in American territory. Shots were exchanged and a Black American watchmaker, Amos Durfee was killed. The force set fire to Caroline and set it adrift in the Niagara River, about two miles (3.2 km) above Niagara Falls. Caroline proceeded to float over the Niagara Falls and was destroyed. © M&N
