Vrooman's Battery, a single 24-pounder cannon mounted within a crescent-shaped earthwork and manned by Captain Samuel Hatt's 5th Lincoln (Militia) Regiment and a small party of the Lincoln Militia Artillery under Lieutenant John Ball, fought in the Battle of Queenston Heights on October 13, 1812. Commanding the Niagara River, its continuous fire harassed the Americans crossing from Lewiston, provided cover for the British when they were first repulsed from the heights, and supported later attempts to regain them.
