Comments: About 1 October 1776 Massachusetts Privateer Schooner True Blue (Commander William Coles) was off the Portuguese coast. Here she captured a ship commanded by Isaac Strutland, bound from the Mediterranean to Dublin, Ireland. Strutland and twelve men were removed to the privateer. The ship was presumably sent off to America.
