Cossack, Black, master, a brig of Greenock, had been sailing from Alicante to Newfoundland when on 16 October 1814 the privateer Grand Turk captured her. Grand Turk transferred a considerable quantity of raisins from Cossack before sending her for the United States.[2]
HMS Bulwark recaptured Cossack, only to have Cossack fall prey to the US privateer Surprise.[3] Cossack arrived at Salem, Massachusetts on 16 November.[4] Cossack was carrying a cargo of wine. She was sold at Salem for $12,500.[5]
The Register of Shipping (RS) carried the annotation "CAPTURED" by her name in its volume for 1815.[6]
