From Wikipedia in part (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Plattsburgh)

Lieutenant Thomas Macdonough, commanding the American naval forces on the Lake, established a secure base at Otter Creek (Vermont), and constructed several gunboats. He had to compete with Commodore Isaac Chauncey, commanding on Lake Ontario, for seamen, shipwrights and supplies, and was not able to begin constructing larger fighting vessels until his second-in-command went to Washington to argue his case to the Secretary of the Navy, William Jones.[18] Naval architect Noah Brown was sent to Otter Creek to superintend construction.

In April 1814, the Americans launched the corvette USS Saratoga of 26 guns and the schooner USS Ticonderoga of 14 guns (originally a part-completed steam vessel).[18] Together with the existing sloop-rigged USS Preble of 7 guns, they gave the Americans naval superiority, and this allowed them to establish and supply a substantial base at Plattsburgh.[19] Only a few days before the Battle of Plattsburgh, the Americans also completed the 20-gun brig USS Eagle.
