Excerpt from The Most Successful American Privateer: An Episode of the War of 1812 In 1680, four years after the death of the Indian "King Philip" the lands of the conquered sachem were by grant of the English king, Charles II, conferred upon his colony of Plymouth. In that year a town was founded to which the name Bristol was given. For one hundred and fifty years after its foundation this town carried on a commerce that was entirely disproportionate to its size. It was a very important commercial center in the days when a large proportion of the commerce of the American colonies and states was carried on by the vessels that hailed from Narragansett Bay. Its commerce was at first mainly with the West India islands. Then a brisk trade was built up with the "Coast of Africa" - a trade that was especially profitable in the early years of the nineteenth century. In 1804 the first cargo was imported from China. A profitable business with the "Northwest Coast" naturally followed. The year 1812 saw the town at the zenith of its commercial prosperity. It could then have numbered not more than 2,800 people, of whom 2,600 were white. (The blacks for many years constituted from six to seven per cent of the population, possibly because of the voyages to Africa.)

During the American War of Independence (1775–83), Congress issued almost 800 letters of marque, as a way of combating Britain's overwhelming naval and mercantile superiority. At first, it was only fishermen and the skippers of small merchant ships who turned to privateering, with mixed results. Eventually though, American shipyards began to turn out specially-converted ships, while later still, the first purpose-built privateers entered the fray. These American privateers seized more than 600 British merchant ships over the course of the war, capturing thousands of British seamen. Indeed, Jeremiah O'Brien's privateer Unity fought the first sea engagement of the Revolutionary War in the Battle of Machias of 1775, managing to capture a British armed schooner with just 40 men, their guns, axes and pitchforks, and the words 'Surrender to America'. By the end of the war, some of the largest American privateers could venture as far as the British Isles, and were more powerful than most contemporary warships in the fledgling US Navy. A small number of Loyalist privateers also put to sea during the war, and preyed on the shipping of their rebel countrymen. Packed with fascinating insights into the age of privateers, this book traces the development of these remarkable ships, and explains how they made such a significant contribution to the American Revolutionary War.
