NOVA SCOTIA SHIP CARRIED MANY PRIZES TO PORT Had Great Success As Pri. vateersman In 1812 Dur-. ing War With U.S. Halifax, N. S., Jan, 11 -- Out- standing in the wealth of marina history contributed by Nova Scotia sailing vessels in the Liverpool Packet, first a slaver and later, in the war of 1812, a privateers- man, which, according to a recent writer, "carried fifty prizes into port, revolutionized traffic along the Atlantic seaboard, started the project of the Cape Cod Canal hy her destructiveness, was captured, became a ghost, and came to life again as a still more successful privateer." After being seized for running contraband negroes into American ports, the Liverpool Packet was auctioned off at Halifax, in Nov- ember of 1811, to Captain Enos Collins, She had heen a tender to a larger Spanish slave ship and was very speedy, resembling a "Balti- more clipper." Captain Joseph Barss was her most famous master, War of 1812 When the Liverpool Packet, en- gaged in coastal trade, was lying in this port on June 27, 1812, Halifax received its first news of the war with the arrival of His Majesty's frigate Belvidera, which presented a rather sorry appearance after be- ing chased and battered all day by a United States squadron of live ships. At that time Governor Sher- brooke did not have authority to issue a privateering commission, but two months after the United States began privateering, the Liv- erpool Packet obtained a commis- sion 'against France ete." The vessel, wheih never saw a French- man, interpreted the "&c" as in- cluding "all enemies of the King," and set out in search of these en- emies. The Packet prowled up and down the New England coast, carrying off prizes under the noses of navy brigs, revenue cutters and com-|m merce-raiders. In Salem, Mass, privateer base and thriving port, bitter excitement raged against the in N "That from miles of their mediate practical utility, on which much stress is laid in the Interim Renort of the Royal Commission on and Galleries, because they are an invaluable and not sufficieintly reco=nized in the development of industry and of industrial entrrprise, lareer part.of the time nf the staff than is generally understood fs oec- | cupfed not merely hy curatinz and | abstract research, but in studvinz | and advising on problems of im- took eight schooners and a brig laden with corn and flour. had so many prisoners that s gave up the brig and some of th schooners to carry them to their homes, Cutting the size of the privateer in two.and perhaps doubling its vie- tories, the Boston Messenger said: fishing schooner of only 35 tons burden should have captured and carried fome eight or nine sail, valued at within twenty days of the time she left Liverpool, N.
