"406-412: Vessels captured on Spanish Main by the Snap Dragon privateer of Newbern (NC) divested of their valuables and burned. Three others taken by the same, valuable articles removed and given up to release prisoners.
"Sloop, a fine copper-bottomed vessel taken by the Snap Dragon and fitted as a tender and store ship."
So, three vessels weren't destroyed, but after valuables were taken off, used to transport prisoners. One ship taken was turned into a tender for the Snap Dragon.
