	15k	Jonathan Haraden was born in Gouchester, Mass., 11 November 1744, and joined the Massachusetts State Navy in July 1776 as First Lieutenant of the sloop Tyrannicide. Sailing with her for 2 years, he captured many prizes, and rose to command her in 1777. In 1778, Haraden left the state navy for a career as a privateersman, commanding General Pickering. He simultaneously engaged three British privateers off New Jersey in October 1779, and captured a 22-gun sloop in the Bay of Biscay. When British privateer Achilles, of three times his force, attempted to recapture his prize a few days later, Haraden fought a fierce action at close quarters for 3 hours, forcing the larger ship to sheer off. Captured briefly by Admiral Rodney in the West Indies in 1781, Haraden escaped and sailed privateer Julius Caesar in 1782. In June of that year fought off two British vessels of equal force at the same time. His health declined steadily after the close of the War for Independence, and he died at Salem, Mass., 23 November 1803.		Bill Gonyo

On British Service
HMCS Columbia (ex-USS Haradan, DD- 183), Columbia manned by the RCN, served locally at Halifax, NS, until January 1941 when she came to Devonport for a brief refit thereafter joining 4th Escort Group until mid-1941. On the formation of the Newfoundland Escort Command, Columbia's low radius and Canadian naturally led to her return to Canadian waterrs, and she was thereafter based at Halifax, NS. She did well to remain in service until 1944, but the end came when she struck a cliff at Moreton Bay, Newfoundland on 25 February 1944. Technically, she did not ground, as she never touched bottom, but the impact crushed the ship's bows and she was towed to St John's, NF, where she lay unrepaired until July 1944. Then, minus her damaged bows, she was hulked at Liverpool, NS, as a static fuel and ammuntion depot for ships under repair. Paid off from this duty on 12 June 1945, the hulk was sold for scrap 7 August 1945. (History thanks to Robert Hurst.)
