The first page of the filmstrip states (in typewriting) that the documents concerning the taking of the brig Jospeh by the schooner Eagle date from 1876-1877. From the subsequent manuscript documents is however most clear that the person typewriting that date made an error of one century. The taking of the Joseph of Edenton, North Carolina by the Eagle of Boston, Massachussets took place on November 11th, 1 7 7 6 .

About this Publication Title

Revolutionary War Prize Cases - Captured Vessels

During the American Revolution, armed vessels serving under individual colonies began to prey upon British commerce. The lack of courts for the condemnation of prizes taken by the Continental vessels was a source of annoyance to General Washington. He saw a need for speedy and regular condemnation of the prizes taken by all these ships to avoid conflict among colonies. The cases in this publication cover the appeals process that resulted for dealing with prize cases.
