Battle of Wareham, Massachusetts
Attack on Wareham
In 1814 HMS Superb was employed on the coast of North America under the orders of Sir Alexander Cochrane and took part in an attack upon Wareham, Massachusetts during the War of 1812
The British sloop Nimrod, which had been involved in stopping American privateering during the War of 1812, ran aground in Buzards Bay.
The Nimrod was commanded by Lt. George Hilton in 1814 when she was stationed off New London with the squadron under Capt. Charles Paget in the Superb. Captain Paget learned that a ship's letter of marque (a government permitted and insured privateer) and a brig privateer were at Wareham at the head of Buzzard's Bay, he detached Nimrod through Quick's Hole with two of Nimrod's boats and two from Superb under the direction of Lieut. James Garland first officer of the Superb, to destroy them.
