HMS Blonde

HMS Blonde was a 32-gun fifth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy. She was originally the French frigate Blonde, captured by the British during the 1760 Battle of Bishops Court. Blonde was wrecked on Blonde Rock, Nova Scotia with American prisoners of war (POW) on board in 1782. The American privateers Noah Stoddard and Daniel Adams rescued the POW and let the British crew go free. Their decision created an international stir. Upon returning to Boston, Adams was banished for letting go the crew and he and his family became Loyalist refugees in Nova Scotia.
