Sons of Neptune
The Sons of Neptune was a group of colonial sailors directly associated with the Sons of Liberty before and during the American Revolution. The Sons of Neptune began to defend themselves against trade restrictions imposed by the British. They were involved in the Stamp Act Crisis, the Townsend Acts, and the Boston Tea Party. The term "Sons of Liberty" was used in America prior to 1765 by Colonel Isaac Barré, who coined the phrase "Sons of Liberty" for those whose rights were threatened by Lord Grenville's proposed stamp tax. This group of patriots was formed in New York by Isaac Sears.

The enemy would be located primarily around the waters of northern Delaware to southern Virginia. These privateers took bounty from pillaged ships. The only time they would not dare attack was if they faced French warships. After the war, Sears moved to New York and engaged in trade with the West Indies.
