Sloop USS PEACOCK Capturing British Brig NAUTILUS in the Straits of Sunda, June 1815.

            On 30 June 1815, the American ship sloop USS PEACOCK, with 20 32-pounder carronades and 2 18-pounder long guns, Captain Warrington, fell in with the Honorable East India Company's brig NAUTILUS, Lieutenant Charles Boyce, carrying 4 long 9-pounders and 10 18-pounder carronades. She was less than half the size of PEACOCK at anchor off Fort Anjera in the Straits of Sunda. PEACOCK continued approaching NAUTILUS and the British captain hailed asking if Captain Warrington knew that peace had been declared. Captain Warrington ordered the brig to surrender. Captain Boyce refused and one or two broadsides were exchanged when the brig, having lost 7 men killed and 8 wounded and having been cut up as well, surrendered.
