Pirates seize Chesapeake in surprise mutiny during voyage
Chronology recounts a dramatic 19th century pirate raid off Cap Cowl. Six armed men seized the steamer while crew and passengers were asleep, killing and wounding members, forcing surrender, and driving the vessel toward Portland Maine. Captain Willett and survivors arrived in Portland as city residents lamented the audacious mutiny and feared further seizures.
