HMS Statira-- Part 2

From 1 June 1813 to 20 June 1813, the Statira was with the HMS Spartan, a sister ship, and HMS Martin in a very successful operation. I will refer to them as "The Three" to save some typing.

1 JUNE: The Three capture the American brigs Valador and Fanny.

CIRCA 2 JUNE: The Three capture sloops Express, Dispatch, Betsy, Caroline, Priscilla, Morning Star, Sally, Sarah, Ploughboy, George and brig Commerce and the Potuguese brig Flora. (Not a nad day's work and lots of prize money, no doubt).

3 JUNE: The Three capture the brig Fanny. (Possibly a mistake as they captured a brig named Fanny two days earlier.)

4 JUNE: The Three capture the Portuguese brig Carlotta.

5 JUNE: The Three capture the Portugueses brig Flor de Lisbon. (I'm figuring perhaps Portugal was at war with Britain over in Europe or perhaps the Potuguese ships were ignoring the blockade.

Nice Haul on the Second. --Brock-Perry
