notes: label: Description
content: <i>Psyche</i> was a brig of war belonging to the British East India Company's private navy. It carried 32 guns and was commanded by Captain Edgecombe. Piracy was a constant danger, so besides carrying marine insurance, some bigger companies employed their own private navies to help ward off attack. The picture shows the East India Company's brig of war <i>Psyche</i> attacking and chasing Arab pirates around Bombarick rock in the Persian Gulf on September 13, 1816.
