In the early 1800s there was a Royal Navy Depot at the mouth of the Grand River in Port Maitland, on Lake Erie. This is an advertisement from the Niagara Spectator in February 1817. It is promoting a production there, of Oliver Goldsmith's 1773 comedy, "She Stoops To Conquer", performed by sailors of the Royal Navy.
