Noah Stoddard
Captain Noah Stoddard (1755–1850) of Fairhaven, Massachusetts was an American privateer who distinguished himself during the American Revolution by leading the Raid on Lunenburg (1782). In the raid, Stoddard led four other privateer vessels and attacked the British settlement at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia on July 1, 1782.〔(Eastman, Ralph M. "Captain Noah Stoddard" in ''Some Famous Privateers of New England''. 1928. pp. 61–63 )〕〔(p.7 )〕 In Nova Scotia, the assault on Lunenburg was the most spectacular raid of the war.〔Gwyn, p. 75〕

Stoddard was involved in the first naval engagement of the American Revolution, Battle off Fairhaven, when patriots retrieved two vessels that had been captured by the British sloop of war, ''Falcon'', in Buzzards Bay. On May 14, 1775, American Captain Daniel Egery and Capt. Nathaniel Pope of Fairhaven in the sloop ''Success'' (40 guns, 30 men) retrieved two vessels captured by the British crew of Captain John Linzee (Lindsey), Royal Navy commander of HMS ''Falcon'' (14 guns, 110 men).〔http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Egery-2〕 Stoddard and the others took the first naval prisoners of the war, 13 British crew, two were wounded and one died.〔http://www.whalingmuseum.org/explore/library/publications/old-dartmouth-historical-sketches/odhs_no_6〕〔See Captain Nathaniel Pope's manuscript and Ellis's History for accounts of this rebellion.〕〔(Recapture of Falcon’s Prizes: The First Naval Encounter of the War, 14 May 1775 )〕〔(First Naval Skimmish of the American Revolution )〕〔https://archive.org/stream/historyofbristol00hurd#page/269/mode/1up〕
Stoddard's vessel, the ''Scammell'', was commissioned in April 1782. Soon after, he rescued the 60 American prisoners on board HMS ''Blonde'', which was wrecked on Seal Island, Nova Scotia. Stoddard allowed the British crew to return to Halifax in HMS ''Observer'' (which was involved in the Naval battle off Halifax en route).〔Sacking of Lunenburg.
