While cruising off the coast of South Carolina the United States Navy warship USS ''St. Lawrence'' encountered the Confederate privateer named ''Petrel''. The engagement ended in a Union victory and the surviving rebels were arrested for piracy.〔http://www.history.navy.mil/danfs/s17/st_lawrence.htm〕 ==Background== The USS ''St. Lawrence'' was a sailing frigate built for the Mexican War, she weighed 1,176 long tons and was armed with fifty guns. Captain Hugh Y. Purviance was placed in command with orders to proceed south along the coast for service with the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Her opponent, the ''Petrel'', was a much smaller schooner rigged vessel, mounting only two guns and under the command of Captain William Perry. She was formerly the United States Revenue Cutter Service ship ''William Aiken'' until being captured by the rebels. ''Petrel'' had a very short career before she was destroyed, having been commissioned at Charleston, South Carolina on July 10, with seven other vessels. The ''Petrel'' had a crew of fewer than fifty crewmen while the ''St. Lawrence'' carried nearly 500 into battle, she left Charleston on July 28 and was discovered on the same date. It was night on July 28 when lookouts informed Captain Purviance that they had sighted a ship flying British colors off the South Carolina coast. Though the Union men did not know it at the time, the ship they saw was the ''Petrel''.〔http://www.flickr.com/photos/library-company-of-philadelphia/5532383440/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sinking of the Petrel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
