Free Ships Make Free Goods: The Case of the USS Erie and the Privateer Federal
Pensacola History Illustrated , Vol.13(1)
Summer 2024
Abstract
On December 6, 1828, the American sloop-of-war USS Erie captured a privateer schooner within the harbor of the Swedish colony of St. Barts. The incident and resulting court case tried in Pensacola highlight the continued efforts of the U.S. Navy to protect its commerce during the “Age of Revolutions,” and demonstrates the geo-political complexities U.S. naval personnel faced while navigating neutrality during armed conflicts that relied on private ships of war.
