Title: American Privateer INDUSTRY Captured by HMS PEARL in July 1778
Caption: The British 32-gun frigate HMS PEARL, Captain John Linzee, cruising off Sandy Hook chased and, after a gallant defense, captured the American 26-gun privateer INDUSTRY, in which PEARL suffered a loss of 3 men killed and fourteen wounded. The activity of Sir George Collier on this station materially checked the hordes of privateers sent to sea by the Americans and his tenders made a large number of prizes.
