Fanny (1812 privateer)
''Fanny'' was an armed merchantman that sailed between Liverpool and South America. Her master was James Laughton, the father of Sir John Knox Laughton.〔John Knoxs older brother was christened James Brotherston Laughton〕〔John Knox's ''Whos Who'' entry describes his father as 'master mariner and in times of war captain of a privateer'〕 On 5 December 1812, Laughton was granted a Letter of Marque for the ship.〔(1812 letters of Marque (National Archives) )〕 On 19 April 1814, the American privateer schooner ''General Armstrong'' captured her, though shortly thereafter recaptured her. The insurance and marine salvage issues involved gave rise to three notable court cases.
== Voyage to South America ==
''Fanny'' sailed from Falmouth 26 August 1813 to Rio de Janeiro in convoy with about 30 others and a Royal Navy escort.〔(Lloyds List 31 Aug 1813 )〕 For the return voyage, Laughton sought permission from the station admiral to return home without convoy. Laughton hired thirty additional men and took on board some additional arms. The station admiral thought ''Fanny'' was competent to defend herself and permitted the solo voyage.〔Reports of prize cases determined in the High court of admiralty, before the Lords commissioners of appeals in prize causes, and before the Judicial committee of the Privy council, from 1745-1859〕 On 8 March 1814 ''Fanny'' left Maranham for Liverpool.
