''Liverpool Packet'' was the most successful privateer vessel ever to sail out of a Canadian port.〔Leefe (1978), p. 9.〕

''Liverpool Packet'' was originally the American slave ship ''Severn'', built at Baltimore and rigged as a Baltimore Clipper style schooner. captured the schooner in August 1811. The Halifax Vice Admiralty Court, under Chief Justice Alexander Croke, condemned ''Severn'' as an illegal slave ship as both Britain and the United States had recently outlawed the Transatlantic Slave Trade.〔Conlin (1999), pp.202-12.〕 The court then ordered her sold at auction and Enos Collins and other investors purchased her in October 1811. They renamed her ''Liverpool Packet'', although she sometimes bore the nickname ''The Black Joke'', a name of several infamous slave ships. At first her owners used the small and fast schooner as a packet ship carrying mail and passengers between Halifax and Liverpool, Nova Scotia.
