The second USS Boston was a 24-gun frigate, launched 3 June 1776 by Stephen and Ralph Cross, Newburyport, Massachusetts, and completed the following year with Captain Hector McNeill in command. On 21 May 1777, Boston sailed in company with Hancock for a cruise in the North Atlantic. The two frigates captured three prizes including the 28-gun frigate Fox (7 June). Boston, Hancock, and Fox were engaged (7-8 July) by Flora, Rainbow, and Victor. Her consorts were taken by the British squadron, but Boston escaped to the Sheepscot River on the Maine coast. Her captain, Hector McNeill, was court-martialed in June 1779 for failing to support Hancock and dismissed from the service.
