BLACK PRINCE - BEN FRANKLIN'S
PRIVATEER
|
During
the Revolutionary War (1774-76) private vessels (privateers) were commissioned
by the colonial rebel government to prey on British commerce everywhere and to
capture, when possible, British ships. For this matter, the government issued
the permission to arm privateer ships. At the time of the Revolutionary War,
Benjamin Franklin was ambassador to France. He allowed to buy two French-built
corsairs through an important ship broker. Then Franklin sent them to the U.S.
for modifications by a shipwright who had a talent for coaxing greater speed out
of ships. These corsairs were painted black so as to be nearly invisible at
night. They were named Black Prince and Black Princess. The crew were Portuguese
seaman but captained by an American. They preyed on the British trade in English
coastal waters and for over a year nearly destroyed Britain's trade with the
rest of the world. Then they were captured in a hunt on the high seas and burned
by the British somewhere in the Mediterranean.
