The nickname 'The Mad Yankee' was given to the American privateer and naval officer Edward Preble by the Royal Navy. Preble was known for his aggressive tactics and bold actions during the First Barbary War in the early 19th century. His daring exploits, particularly in the Mediterranean, earned him a reputation that both impressed and alarmed his adversaries.
