"Trial of the Officers and Crew of the Privateer Savannah, on the Charge of Piracy" is a historical account published in the early 19th century. This work documents a significant court case in which the crew of the privateer Savannah is tried for piracy under U.S. law during a tumultuous period in American history marked by the Civil War. The narrative provides insight into the legal proceedings of the time, detailing the charges against the crew, the testimonies presented, and the implications of their actions against American commerce. The opening of the text outlines the capture of the Savannah, which was outfitted as a privateer with the intent to attack U.S. commercial vessels. It further discusses the initial capture of the privateer by the United States Navy and subsequent transfer of the crew to New York for trial.
