The Battle off Cape Mojahara was a naval engagement that took place in September 1788 between forces of the Royal Frankenlischian Navy and the pirate flotilla of Captain Anne Bolton. The battle followed a long raiding campaign by Anne Bolton's pirates which climaxed with the Capture of HMNS Ravenstern, a Frankenlischian frigate. The frigate Luxington and the sixth-rate Falcon, under the command of Captain James Randolph, discovered Bolton's base at Cape Mojahara after a five-week search and, in a four-hour engagement, defeated the pirates and captured Anne Bolton.
