I received a nice letter from Jeanne Sandford, asking if I new anything about the Privateer Junius Bruius. Of course I new nothing of the ship, but would look into it for her.
Well I found very little on the ship, but found a lot of names from the crew. All who follow this site know how I like surnames. I hope this information well help those looking into this ship.

Junius Brutus of Salem. This was a ship of 200 tons, carrying 20 guns and 120 men. On May 23, 1780, on petition of Joshua Ward and Henry Rust, John Leach was commissioned commander. She was afterwards commanded by John Brooks and later by Nathaniel Brookhouse, both of Salem, and while under command of the former had a well contested engagement with the English ship Experiment, lasting three glasses. The Experiment mounted 18 long sixes and carried the then very valuable cargo of 1500 barrels of flour. The Experiment finally surrendered with a loss of two killed and two wounded. The Junius Brutus during her privateer life sent 890 tons of prizes into Salem and was captured in the autumn of 1782 and sent in to Newfoundland.
