Letter of marque
Captain Porter, of Boston, commissioned Aurora on 2 October 1780. While sailing to Port-au-Prince she came upon the wreck of Шаблон:HMS and was able to rescue four men.[1]
Aurora unloaded her cargo at Port-au-Prince and started to take on a cargo of sugar for France. While she was loading a squall struck her. The squall overturned and sank her, drowning several men in the process. She was salvaged and two weeks later sailed with her cargo to France. Aurora sailed from Lorient on 24 April 1781 and returned to Boston on 20 May.[1]
On 16 June her owners posted bond for Aurora to operate as a privateer. She sailed in July in company with the Massachusetts privateer Шаблон:Ship, James Munro, master, but the two ships separated.[1]
The 74-gun ship Шаблон:HMS captured Aurora on 11 July 1781,[2] or 18 July.Шаблон:Sfnp She was at New York by 20 August.
The Royal Navy purchased Aurora on 11 September 1781 at Boston. The Navy already had an Шаблон:HMS in service so the Navy named the prize HMS Mentor, and Commander Richard Tilledge commissioned her.Шаблон:Sfnp
Mentor was one of the naval vessels that shared in the capture of the brigs Unity and Betsey, on 20 January 1783.[3]
After Шаблон:HMS wrecked on 21 August 1783 at Bermuda, Mentor was sent to take off the survivors. Mentor did so, but then disappeared. She was assumed to have foundered with all hands, including the survivors from Cerberus she had taken on.Шаблон:Sfnp
