Cossack, Black, master, a brig of Greenock, had been sailing from Alicante to Newfoundland when on 16 October 1814, the privateer Grand Turk captured her. Grand Turk transferred a considerable quantity of raisins from Cossack before sending her for the United States.^[2]

HMS Bulwark recaptured Cossack, only to have Cossack fall prey to the US privateer Surprise.^[3] Cossack arrived at Salem, Massachusetts on 16 November.^[4] Cossack was carrying a cargo of wine.^[5] She was sold at Salem for $12,500.^[6]

When Captain Green, of Grand Turk reached Salem he was delighted to see Cossack anchored there. He was then chagrined to discover that she had become a prize to a rival privateer.^[7]

The Register of Shipping (RS) carried the annotation "CAPTURED" by Cossack's name in its volume for 1815.^[8]
