Grenada Packet (1789 ship)

[1] On 16 October 1793 Grenada Packet, Werryss, master, sailed from Gravesend, bound for Pensacola.

Grenada Packet, Wemys, master, arrived in Jamaica from London, while bound to Pensacola.

[2] Grenada Packet, a prize to Amie Point Petre, was reported to have burnt at Savannah.

[4] Ami was the former American schooner Fair Play, which William Talbot, Edward Ballard, and John Sinclair had purchased at Charleston, South Carolina and had armed and outfitted for privateering.

The aim was to circumvent the Act of June 5, 1793, which sought to preserve the neutrality of the United States in the war between Britain and France by outlawing the arming of United States vessels to sail against Great Britain with letters of marque issued by France.
