there were also a bunch of unnamed small Tunisian pirate craft back the first time the United States had trouble with Arab pirates......the Bey of Tripoli demanded a bribe to allow American ships to sail the Med...there is a great painting of America's answer to this, showing Constitution and (the first) Enterprise standing into harbor, guns run out, about to deliver "Payment in Iron"

Apparently she arrived home with 48,600 gallons of fresh water, since that is the only thing you did not list her as having none of. From the amount of rum and whiskey you listed apparently they were drinking alcohol and not water. It is unlikely though that she had that much water left, it would have been used for cooking as well as drinking, unless she topped her barrels off with rain water if she encountered any storm on her voyage.
