Otway Burns

Otway Burns (1775 - 25 August 1850) was an American privateer during the War of 1812. Burns was born at Queen's Creek, near Swansboro, North Carolina, in 1775. During the War of 1812 he acquired letters of marque for the privateer Snap Dragon and commanded the fast little schooner on three cruises, having several encounters with British men-of-war, also taking numerous prizes. After the war he engaged in shipbuilding at Beaufort, North Carolina, and spent 13 years in the General Assembly of North Carolina. In 1835 President Andrew Jackson appointed him keeper of the Brant Island Shoal Light, a position he held until his death. USS Burns (DD-171) was named for him.
