Great Lakes Patrol
The Great Lakes Patrol was carried out by American naval forces, beginning in 1844, mainly to suppress criminal activity and to protect the maritime border with Canada. Only a small force of United States Navy, Coast Guard, and Revenue Service ships served in the Great Lakes throughout the operations, though they were involved in several incidents with pirates and rebels. The patrol ended in 1920 when the Coast Guard assumed full command of the operations as part of the Rum Patrol.
