News fragment on privateer actions and mid 18th century shipping
An extract describes a Corke Corke letter from March 29 1779 detailing privateer prize captures near Port au Prince and St Domingo, including ships loaded with sugar coffee and indigo, plus dispatches about a York NY arrival, convoy movements and fatalities, with broader notes on naval engagements, protests, and social updates from Dublin and Cork. The text also covers notices of sales, charitable appeals, and local events.
