Action off James Island

The Action off James Island was a naval battle of the War of 1812. In May 1813 an American sloop-of-war captured three British privateers off James Island in the South Pacific. The engagement was one of the few fought in Pacific waters during the war.〔http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wcarr1/Lossing2/Chap.32.html〕〔http://www.historynet.com/war-of-1812-commodore-david-porter-and-the-essex-in-the-south-pacific.html〕
==Background==
Following Captain David Porter's passage of Cape Horn in USS ''Essex'' a year earlier, the United States Navy vessel focused on commerce raiding by attacking British whalers off the coast of South America. After taking several vessels, Captain Porter made a prize out of the ''Georgiana'', a 280-ton converted sloop. The ship initially carried six guns but her armament was increased to six 18-pounders, four swivel guns and six blunderbusses. Lieutenant John Downes was placed in command with forty-two others and six volunteers, recently liberated American sailors. Downes was then ordered to proceed from the coastal area to harass the British off James Island in the Galapagos chain.〔〔
