The Prizes of War: Prize Law and the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Wars, 1793-1815 Book

During the maritime wars of 1793-1815, the taking of prizes and the acquisition of prize money were vital aspects both of economic warfare and of the financial incentives to naval officers. Fortunes could be made; they could also be denied if the capture did not conform to prize law, which was in a state of constant development. This book investigates for the first time the interactions between all elements of the system: the principles of law, the rules of contraband and blockade, the statutes and orders of government, actions subsequent to capture, the activities of prize agents, and how the money reached the recipients to whom it was due, among other topics.Read More
