A privateer was a private ship (or its captain) authorized by a country's government to attack and seize cargo from another country's ships.\n\nOverview\nPrior to the development of international law among European nations, there was no legal recourse for minor grievances. Privateering was a form of covert operation used to resolve these matters without open warfare. The government of a country provided a letter of marque and reprisal to a shipowner that allowed him to arm his ship and attack other ships sailing under a particular flag. In return he received a share of the seized cargo, while the rest went to the government as payment for the grievance.\n\nTo the target country, a privateer looked very much like a pirate, and indeed this was the intention. The only difference was that pirates were considered outlaws by all nations, while privateers had immunity from the country that commissioned them, and were considered as prisoners of war if caught by other countries. Privateers were sometimes known as "gentleman pirates". Sometimes privateers would even be commissioned to hunt down other pirates, while some of the time, privateers would commit acts of piracy without being commissioned to do so if it fit the privateer's agenda.\n\nEuropean powers renounced privateering in the 1856 Declaration of Paris. Other countries (including the United States) also renounced it under the Hague Conventions (1899/1907).\n\nPrivateers in American history\nThe United States Constitution authorized the U.S. Congress to grant letters of marque and reprisal, as did the Confederate Constitution. The Confederates used privateers during the American Civil War. Britain also used them against the U.S. after the American Revolutionary War.\n\nFamous privateers\nKanhoji Angre \nJean Bart \nWilliam Dampier \nSir Francis Drake \nJames Erisey \nAlexander Godfrey \nJonathan Haraden \nBully Hayes \nPiet Hein \nWilliam Kidd \nGödeke Michels (leader of the Likedeelers) \nSir Henry Morgan \nKlaus Störtebeker (leader of the Likedeelers) \nRobert Surcouf \nVictual Brothers or Vitalians \nEdward Teach, or Blackbeard

I've seen and read about a number of ship lauchings, and never heard of this one! Where did you hear this?

The US did in 1803 when we fought our first over seas war in Monazuma. We were trading with other countries in the Med. sea and we did not pay the "priates" monet to not attack our trade ships. They were called terrorist then. The US went to a short war with the terrorist and won. The Congress adopted a "no negotiation" standard then.

""Passed with flying colours" comes from sailing ships that, when passing other ships at sea, would fly their colours (flags) if they wanted to be identified"

I don't think their is any law on international water. You are on your own bring lots of shotguns if you plan to go there. That is why there are pirates and things.

Basically it is to amend the Constitution in whatever country to a new updated/amended one. It also can be used in any charter be it for boat building or whatever...\n\nHope this helps\n\nJems xXx

Flying under which flag?  3 miles out is usually international waters and thus it would matter what country the vessel is flagged under.

A Letter of Marques could be issued by Congress according to the Constitution. I am trying to get one myself. There are Pirates all over the world, and they are costing people MILLIONS. Some are supported by governments. Think about a modern giant container ship with very little crew, and because of international law no weapons.. A small crew with fast boats and modern weapons can steal a ship easy. It happens all the time.They are terrorists on boats (remember the Cole?)

"Mutiny " is the right word.\n\nI think even "Coup" would do.

what are you asking? Most ships regardless of flag are on one of the main classification societies anyway if anything for international standards at sea and a quicker process upon entering foreign port. examples being DNS,ABS, or one of the many Loyd's societies.

This is an old tradition and in the past captains did go down with the ship, it was considered an honorable thing to do, times have changed and I'm pretty sure that that tradition is no longer being practiced.  I think that some may chose to go down if not all the "passengers" have been removed.

Entering Mexican waters without proper permissions can be deadly. I would contact the harbor master from the port you are heading too.

This is similar to crimes committed on the high seas.  The first port of entry - or airport - that country would have jurisdiction over the  crime the crime that was committed.  If a plane flew from England to New York and a crime was committed in flight, New York would have jurisdiction over this matter after the plane landed.  Good question.

He didn't lie,The invasion was based in part on foreign intelligence reports. As for the "Illeagal" war\n\n As much as people may hate the idea, but yes the war is legal under Article 1441, Acting under Chapter VII (articles 41 & 42)of the Charter of the United Nations.\n\nArticle 41: The Security Council may decide what measures not involving the use of armed force are to be employed to give effect to its decisions, and it may call upon the Members of the United Nations to apply such measures. These may include complete or partial interruption of economic relations and of rail, sea, air, postal, telegraphic, radio, and other means of communication, and the severance of diplomatic relations.\n\n\nArticle 42\nShould the Security Council consider that measures provided for in Article 41 would be inadequate or have proved to be inadequate, it may take such action by air, sea, or land forces as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security. Such action may include demonstrations, blockade, and other operations by air, sea, or land forces of Members of the United Nations.\n\nThese are the two articles that the United States and Britain used to enforce the existing cease fire agreement. I used the term "cease fire" because no actual peace treaty signed,and hostilities could resume at anytime. \nSource(s) \nhttp://www.un.int/usa/sres-iraq.htm...\n\nhttp://www.un.org/aboutun/charter/chapte...
