Capture of East India Company ship Nautilus

The capture of East India Company ship Nautilus was a single-ship action which took place on June 30, 1815 as part of the War of 1812. It occurred during the third voyage of United States Navy sloop-of-war USS Peacock under the command of Master Commandant Lewis Warrington. Though the conflict had ended six months earlier thanks to the Treaty of Ghent, a fact which Warrington knew about, he attacked the East India Company brig HCS Nautilus after its commander, Charles Boyce, refused to strike his colours. Peacock opened fire, inflicting several casualties on the crew of Nautilus and forcing her surrender, though Warrington released the brig after Boyce provided documents pertaining to the treaty. The action was the last military engagement of the conflict.
