File:Bermuda Gazette - 12 November 1796.jpg
Summary
The front page of the Bermuda Gazette, 12 November, 1796, which includes an exhortation by Henry Tucker, one of a line of notable Bermudians of that name, President of the Privy Council, for Bermudian vessels to turn to privateering against Spain and its allies. Bermudians never hesitated to switch from more Pacific maritime trades whenever the opportunity presented itself, and the same page displays two advertisements for crewmembers for ships being readied for privateering cruises.
