1796133528c.1796-97. Where gain is the object bring into harbour all the loaded merchantmen you can An outstanding and unusually comprehensive archive documenting the British-built armed brig Swallow a Liverpool privateer operating in the Caribbean under the experienced prize-master John McIver. The papers trace in exceptional detail the purchase fitting out commissioning and deployment of a late 18th-century privateering vessel anchored by impressive original Letters of Marque. Privateering was in essence a form of licensed warfare. As the Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea defines it a privateer was "a privately owned vessel armed with guns commissioned by letters of marque which licensed them to take prizes in time of war" 1979 p. 670. This archive shows the process in action. The owners' letters to McIver convey both urgency and anxiety as they navigate the risks of long-distance operations during wartime revealing the network of merchants agents and seamen supporting the Swallow. Early letters make clear that McIver was the driving force: his kinsmen purchased the vessel "solely with the View to make a profitt by a Resale" yet were "well pleased you have taken the Command." The brig was refitted with 10 new iron cannon and furnished with Letters of Marque against French Dutch and later Spanish vessels. In late 1796 the Liverpool partners press McIver to sail immediately for Caribbean waters "in search of Spanish Prizes" while repeatedly stressing the need for constant intelligence. Their concerns deepen over slow remittances from their agent in Jamaica and uncertainty over whether to continue privateering or sell the ship. Built at East Cowes and bought on the stocks by the Royal Navy in 1781 the Swallow was sold in 1795 to a Liverpool consortium including Samuel McDowall the Twemlow family and the McIvers with McIver himself later taking a one-third share. At his urging the vessel was strengthened rearmed and commissioned. Her first Letter of Marque 12 July 1796 authorized cruising against the French and Dutch; a second January 1797 targeted Spanish shipping prompting an increase to 20 guns and a crew of 80. As Gomer Williams notes the Swallow "was not an ordinary privateer but an armed vessel specially hired by Government." McIver enjoyed some success: off Léogâne he sent into Port-au-Prince a large brig and schooner with French property aboard took other vessels and saved the Fame of Liverpool from capture. The letters also record his ancillary government work transporting governors and army officers. By 1797 however the quasi-peace following Leoben and Campo Formio curtailed her privateering activities. The archive also preserves McIver's account of capturing a small American merchantman in 1793 - a case serious enough to draw the attention of Thomas Jefferson and the British envoy George Hammond. The later history of the McIver/MacIver family forms a notable coda: their descendants became central figures in the creation of the Cunard Line partnering with Samuel Cunard and Robert Napier in the 1830s and 1840s to establish what became the British and North American Royal Steam Packet Company. This archive offers a superlative and unusually granular record of British privateering at a moment when European conflict fuelled an upsurge of activity in the Caribbean - a milieu in which as N. A. M. Rodger observes "the letter of marque was often a slender cover for piracy." A full listing with commentary is available on request. Overall in remarkably good condition. N. A. M.
