Guy Richards Champlin (1785 - 1817) was the master of the Privateer General Armstrong from 1812 to 1814 and the privateer Warrior from 1814 to 1815. He was born on 5 August 1785, in New London, Connecticut, the youngest son of Mary (née Richards) and captain Lodowick Champlin. Guy’s father had been a privateer during the American War of Independence. Captain Guy R. Champlin was one of the American sailors most feared by the British, as he had a remarkable record of bold action, great bravery and fearless aggression. In 1817, Commanding a 6-gun privateer schooner against Spanish vessels, he captured several slavers. Preparing to land several hundred slaves in the Atchafalaya River, he drowned when his boat swamped.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Privateers, War of 1812|url=http://warof1812ct.org/?page_id=991|accessdate=23 August 2015}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Champlin, Guy Richards}}{{US-mil-bio-stub}} 4 : People from New London, Connecticut|American people of the War of 1812|1785 births|1817 deaths |
