Blockade-Runners Captured by the USS Beauregard


From Wikipedia.

Prizes and Adjutications

Date, Name of Ship Captured, Prize Money to Beauregard:

6-20-62 LUCY
8-26-63 PHOEBE
10-6-63 LAST TRIAL (I wrote about this capture this past Saturday in 150 Years Ago. At this point, the chart starts listing prize money.

11-5-63 VOLANTE, $1,210.91
1-15-64 MINNIE $3,065.40
1-28-64 RACER $5,609.25
3-11,64 Hannah $216.59
3-11-64 LINDA $1,066.15

4-7-64 PUNKY $4,912.79
4-18-64 ORAMONETA $606.24
5-12-64 RESOLUTE $440.79.

All prizes except Spunky and Oramoneta adjudicated in Key West.

That brings total prize money divvied up to $17,128.12, a great sum of money back then. Like the recruiting poster I wrote about last month, join the Navy and have a shot at some prize money.

We're In the Money. --Old B-Runner
