The Crew Of The Two Ships Called Deane.

I was asked to look for this one persons ancestor who was a board the ship “Deane.” I knew nothing about this ship let along find any rosters for it. It’s hard to find any roster for the ships of the Revolutionary War, without a lot of research, or unless you know where to look. Then The other day I was in the Massachusetts records looking for a soldier, when I ran a cross a lot of information on seamen of the Massachusetts navy.

I well list all those who were on the ship Deane, I will not try to separate the two ships as this would take way too long. The seamen will be listed in alphabetical order. The name of the commander or captain well be listed within the information.

Important note. These records are badly written and there are a lot of miss-spellings.

The Continental frigate Deane was built at Nantes, France, and brought to the United States in May 1778 to be prepared for sea. Under the command of Captain Nicholson of the Continental Navy, Deane sailed from Boston 14 January 1779 with Alliance for a cruise in the West Indies. She returned to Philadelphia 17 April with one prize, the armed ship Viper. On 29 July she joined with Boston and two ships of the Virginia Navy guarding a convoy of merchantmen out to sea and continuing on for a 5-week cruise which netted eight prizes, including four privateers, the packet Sandwich, and the sloop-of-war HMS Thorn. The frigates arrived at Boston 6 September with 250 prisoners after one of the most notable cruises of the Continental Navy. During the winter and early spring of 1781 and again in 1782 Deane cruised with Confederacy and Saratoga in the West Indies, capturing four prizes on the second of these cruises. After two more cruises in the Caribbean, one in September 1782 and the other in 1783, Deane was placed out of commission in 1783 at Boston. She was renamed Hague in September 1782.

There were two ships called the “Deane” I will list the crew for bought as those looking for their ancestor on the name ship may not know the different beteen the two.

1777. A frigate was built at Nantes, of five hundred and fifty tons and designed to carry twenty-four twelve-pounders, eight fours, and two sixes. This vessel was called the DEANE, and when finished was commanded by Captain Samuel Nicholson. In 1782, under the command of Captain Nicholson, the frigate DEANE was successful in taking many prizes from the enemy. The DEANE eventually returned to the Atlantic Coast of America where Samuel Nicholson sailed in a squadron together with the TRUMBULL captained by his olde brother, James Nicholson. At one point, Samuel Nicholson took a leave of absence from the DEANE and returned to Philadelphia. In his absence, temporary command of the DEANE was given to his younger brother, John Nicholson. Again under the command of Captain Samuel Nicholson, the DEANE sailed again in the spring of 1782. After the return of the DEANE from her cruise, Captain Nicholson was relieved of his command, for what reason is not clear; he was tried by a court martial in September, 1783, and honorably acquitted.
