Description
On 8 April 1823, the barges USS Mosquito and USS Gallinipper chased the pirate schooner, Pilot, off Havana, Cuba. Driving the vessel ashore, the ensuing battle resulted in two pirate fatalities and with one being captured. The other pirates escaped on shore where Marines landed to pursue them. The engagement was supported by sloop-of-war Peacock. United States barges Gallinipper andical boats off the Cuban coast, 8 April 1823. Artwork by Warren. In April, the barges chased a pirate schooner and barge into the bay and subsequently killed all but five of the seventy-odd men they engaged.
