Teazer
Teazer was an American privateering vessel in the War of 1812, best known as the predecessor of the ill-fated schooner Young Teazer. A small schooner based out of New York, Teazer was one of the first American privateers to put to sea in the War. On her first voyage she quickly captured six brigs and six schooners that she sent in to US ports as prizes. However, her career was short-lived. In December 1812, British sailors from the HMS San Domingo boarded Teazer and set fire to her. The British allowed her officers to go home on parole: that is, they were freed upon their promising that they would not sail against Great Britain until an equivalent British prisoner had been exchanged. One of the privateer officers was Lieutenant Frederick Johnson. Teazer's owner quickly built a larger replacement schooner named Young Teazer, and Johnson joined Young Teazer, breaking his parole. When the British cornered Young Teazer at Mahone Bay on June 27, 1813, Johnson was serving as her First Lieutenant. Known for his violent temper, and vowing to avoid capture, he set off an explosion that killed almost the entire crew of Young Teazer.
