Excerpt from Trial of the Officers and Crew of the Privateer Savannah, on the Charge of Piracy, in the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York: Hon. Judges Nelson and Shipman, Presiding
The Minnesota, with the prisoners on board, proceeded, on her way to New York, to Hampton Roads, where the prisoners were transferred to the steam-cutter Harriet Lane and thence, on board that vessel, they were conveyed to New York, at which port they arrived in the course of the month of June.
On the arrival of the Harriet Lane at New York, the prisoners were given in charge to the United States Marshal and, on application of the District Attorney of the United States, a warrant was issued, under which the prisoners were committed for trial.
