The other ship on the stamp is the American privateer DIOMEDE and built at Salem apparently in late 1813.
She was owned by John Crowninshield (Mr. Hogan gives Benjamin Bailey & Co.) at Salem.
She was about 160 tons and built after a model made by the owner.
I have an old booklet: Some Famous Privateers of New England by Ralph M. Eastman.
The following comes from this booklet:
She was well armed, carrying one long gun on a circle forward and four small guns. In addition to this, her main hatchway was decked over and had three large circles, mounted with twelve- and eighteen pounders, between the masts.
There was a delay in putting to sea owing to the fact that some British men-of-war blockaded the harbor for several days. She was able to set sail however on the 9th of February 1814, with a complement of 67 men, with Captain Crowninshield in command.
The DIOMEDE was very fast, and was able to outsail several British war vessels which he sighted and which would have proved troublesome to a slower craft. The first cruise lasted only one month, but was nevertheless very successful one, yielding six prizes, mostly loaded with rum, sugar and cocoa.
She was then refitted, and sailed on the 26th of April ( Mr. Hogan has 27th April) on her second cruise with practically the same officers.
After capturing several prizes, (noting is given on the GASPEE) she was taken by HMS RIFLEMAN, which had chased her the day before but had been lost sight of in the night. The following morning, however, May 29, the DIOMEDE in thick fog fell in with her again, so close to that it was impossible to escape, and the superior armament of the British vessel rendered resistance futile.
She was taken off Sable Island, and at that time she carried an armament of three long 12 pounders and two long sixes. Did have a crew on board of 66 men.
Immediately after the surrender, all except the surgeon and a few of the men were transferred from the DIOMEDE to the HMS RIFLEMAN. All their personal effects were delivered to them without search, and they were treated both by the Captain and the Officers with great courtesy. The two vessels proceeded in company to Halifax, where she arrived on the 31st of May.
The crew was sent to the Melville Island prison, except Captain Crowninshield, in consideration of the kindness he had shown previously to prisoners taken by his vessel and he remained on parole.
Later the officers and crew were sent to the Dartmoor prison in England.
What has happened with the DIOMEDE is not know so far, but I am sure she was used again, when captured she was still a new vessel. Most probably sold as a prize via the Admiralty Court at Halifax.
The booklet depict a painting of drawing of the DIOMEDE, and she was rigged as a topsail schooner.
