New Hampshire Privateer Brigantine Pallas was commissioned on 14 September 1779 under Commander William Knapp of Newburyport, Massachusetts. She was listed as being armed with sixteen guns and as having a crew of eighty men.1
Pallas was captured by the British, perhaps about November 1779, and the crew were detained in prison for several months before being exchanged.2
