Cossack, Black, master, a brig of Greenock, had been sailing from Alicante to Newfoundland when on 16 October 1814, the privateer Grand Turk captured her. Grand Turk transferred a considerable quantity of raisins from Cossack before sending her for the United States. [2]
HMS Bulwark recaptured Cossack, only to have Cossack fall prey to the US privateer Surprise. [3] Cossack arrived at Salem, Massachusetts on 16 November. [4] Cossack was carrying a cargo of wine. [5] She was sold at Salem for $12,500. [6]
When Captain Green, of Grand Turk reached Salem he was delighted to see Cossack anchored there. He was then chagrined to discover that she had become a prize to a rival privateer. [7]
The Register of Shipping (RS) carried the annotation "CAPTURED" by Cossack's name in its volume for 1815. [8]
