Comments: The American merchant vessel Vryheid [Juno] (Adriaan Laernoes) was captured in 1777-1778 and taken into New York. High Court of Admiralty records exist of her trial there. She is described as an American merchant vessel, sailing under Dutch colors, and otherwise known as the Juno. Month placement is arbitrary.
