He also served twice as commandant of the <a href="New_York_Naval_Shipyard" class="mw-redirect" title="New York Naval Shipyard">New York Naval Shipyard</a>. Isaac Chauncey played a prominent role in the creation of the navy yard. His service there, began prior to its official designation as a shipyard.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Raiding_British_shipment">Raiding British shipment</h3></div>

On November 6, 1812, Commodore Isaac Chauncey set out on a raiding expedition to intercept the enemy vessels on their return from Fort George to Kingston. The enemy's force was the Royal George, 26 guns, 260 men; the Earl of Moira, 18 guns, 200 men; the Prince Regent, 18 guns, 150 men; the Duke of Gloucester, 14 guns, 80 men; the Simcoe 12 guns, 76 men; and the Seneca, 4 guns, 40 men. On November 8, Commodore Chauncey fell in with the Royal George and chased her into the Bay of Quinte. On the morning of Nov. 10th he took a small schooner and burnt it, and chased the Royal George into Kingston harbor, and <a href="Battle_of_Kingston_Harbour" title="Battle of Kingston Harbour">engaged her batteries</a> for an hour and forty-five minutes, but stood off with night coming up. The American loss in this engagement was one killed and three wounded. The next morning, with winds too strong to attack, he turned out and soon came upon the Simcoe. They chased her over a reef of rocks and severely disabled her with shot. Commodore Chauncey returned to Sackets Harbor on the 12th of November with three captured British trading schooners.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Raids_the_following_week">Raids the following week</h3></div>

In the following week, Commadore Chaunceys fleet made two short cruises and captured three vessels. Two of the vessels were brought into Sackets Harbor and the third was burnt and sunk.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a>

Commodore Chauncey was the commander of the American fleet transporting 1,700 American Regulars with Benjamin Forsyth's Riflemen leading the way. The American raiding force landed on the beach and routed opposing British forces, who suffered several casualties and retreated from the field. The Americans occupied York for a while looting and burning private property. Then all of the Americans boarded Chauncey's vessels and the entire American raiding force withdrew safely.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Raid_on_Burlington_Heights">Raid on Burlington Heights</h3></div>

From around July 30, 1813, to July 31, 1813. Commodore Chauncey with his fleet arrived near Burlington Heights from Niagara during the morning. A force of several hundred troops, including sailors and U.S. Marines, under Lt. Colonel Winfield Scott, debarked. About 150 British troops under Major Maule put up stiff resistance. The Americans seized some prisoners (civilians, possibly militia in the town) and returned to the ships. The American fleet then departed.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_Raid_on_York">Second Raid on York</h3></div>

One of his most successful operations was taking part of a naval raid by transporting Winfield Scott's force of raiders in the successful raid at York, Upper Canada from July 31, 1813 – August 1, 1813. Isaac Chauncey transported Winfield's American raiding force of 340-500 men to York. The American raiders freed prisoners in jail, made wounded soldiers their captives (on paper), and confiscated British military baggage left there and whatever else they could find. The next day, the American raiders found a hidden <a href="Bateau" title="Bateau">bateau</a> and carted off 400 barrels of food. The Americans also took 11 bateaux, 5 cannons, and some flour. Winfield and his American force of raiders set fire to barracks, a wood yard, and a storehouse on Gibraltar Point. Winfield and his force of American raiders withdrew safely aboard Chauncey's ships. The American raiders destroyed some artillery and boats, confiscated supplies and ammunition, and all withdrew back to New York.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Raid_on_Lake_Ontario">Raid on Lake Ontario</h3></div>

Around October 5, 1813, Chauncey was sailing with his squadron and spotted some British vessels sail on Lake Ontario. Chauncey pursued the British ships, which consisted of seven gunboats being used as troops transports. Chauncey's squadron captured five gunboats and destroyed one. The remaining gunboat escaped. 260 enemy soldiers were captured. Isaac Chauncey and his fleet withdrew back to Sacket's Harbor with the captured ships and 260 prisoners of war.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Further_career">Further career</h2></div>

Chauncey went on to be Brooklyn's longest serving commandant July 13, 1807 – May 16, 1813, and again December 21, 1824 – June 10, 1833.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> His letters to the Secretary of the Navy provide perhaps the fullest picture and most candid portrait by a career naval officer of the early yard. These letters deliver rich detail about the officers and employees, and the problems he encountered making the new yard a viable concern.

Writing November 27, 1807, to the Secretary of the Navy, Chauncey pleads for maintenance funds – "The following things are almost indispensable to promote the public service and for the accommodation of the yard. Two wells to be sunk, in the yard, with pumps in them, windows in the armory, a horse & cart to transport stores, fill holes about the wharf &c &c The tide ebbs & flows in 24 hours consequently leaving a dampness that must destroy the timber next to the ground very soon There is sufficient for the horse in the yard Six wheel barrows with more other little conveniences which I will hope you will leave to my discretion I will not abuse you're your confidence."<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a>

Commodore Chauncey was particularly tough when negotiating wages. Writing on January 5, 1808, to Secretary of the Navy Robert Smith he explained "Some of them (in consequence of Mr. Buckland having mentioned publicly that twenty three gun boats was to be built) immediately had an idea that we could not do without them and would not go to work.

I however was able to find a sufficient number willing to work at the reduced wages and these who refused will in a week come back and beg for work and I shall be able to reduce their wages 25 cents more for the merchants have no work for them to do therefore they must either work for us at our price or go unemployed."<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a>

In May 1829, while in command of the shipyard, Chauncey led a series of searches for the body of <a href="George_Washington_Adams" title="George Washington Adams">George Washington Adams</a>, who committed suicide by jumping from the deck of the steamship Benjamin Franklin.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>

In December 1835 Chauncey led navy yard marines and sailors in suppressing the <a href="Great_Fire_of_New_York" title="Great Fire of New York">Great Fire of New York</a> by blowing up buildings in the fire's path.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a>

His last service was as member, and, for four years, President, of the Board of Navy Commissioners. Commodore Chauncey died in Washington, on January 27, 1840.
