The story of pirates and privateers was actually a tale of legalities and illegalities, separated by a thin statutory line marking those on one side as criminals and the other side as heroes worthy of reward. The illegal and universally condemned acts of maritime piracy and the legal and nationally praised acts of maritime privateering are the basis for this book. Nearly two hundred legal issues are identified among more than a hundred trials of pirates and prize ships seized by privateers, across several centuries of American and British history. These range from the intention to turn pirate, pirates as witnesses, common versus civil law piracy, trying foreign pirates, and special proofs for convicting women, physician, child, indigent, and Black pirates to the use of letters of marque and reprisals versus privateering commissions, condemning or acquitting neutral ships and cargo, the impact of fraudulent ship's papers, the law of nations versus municipal law, and flying false colors during an attack. For each legal issued identified, the related statutes, crew agreements, ship's papers, and court documents are discussed, starting from the 13th century in Britain, continuing up until the cessation of privateering and the winding down of piracy by the time of the American Civil War. Many figures from the legal history in both countries, judges and lawyers, present their legal reasoning while both better-known and lesser-known pirates and privateers appear as defendants or libelants. From this easy-to-read source with highlighting of key legal points, the reader will gain an understanding of the legal developments behind American law, and its legal ancestor British law, on piracy and privateering. Telling the stories of famous, infamous, and anonymous rogues, rebels, and maritime capitalists from a legal perspective, this book has something for all types of readers: lawyers, judges, law students, fans of history, those interested in pirates and the age of sail, and the general reader.

Excerpt from Privateers and Privateering A few words of explanation are necessary as to the pretension and scope of this volume. It does not pretend to be a history of privateering; the subject is an immense one, teeming with technicalities, legal and nautical; interesting, indeed, to the student of history, and never comprehensively treated hitherto, as far as the present author is aware, in any single work. The present object is not, however, to provide a work of reference, but rather a collection of true stories of privateering incidents and heroes of what the French term la course and as such it is hoped that it will find favour with a large number of readers.

During the American War of Independence (1775–83), Congress issued almost 800 letters of marque, as a way of combating Britain's overwhelming naval and mercantile superiority. At first, it was only fishermen and the skippers of small merchant ships who turned to privateering, with mixed results. Eventually though, American shipyards began to turn out specially-converted ships, while later still, the first purpose-built privateers entered the fray. These American privateers seized more than 600 British merchant ships over the course of the war, capturing thousands of British seamen. Indeed, Jeremiah O'Brien's privateer Unity fought the first sea engagement of the Revolutionary War in the Battle of Machias of 1775, managing to capture a British armed schooner with just 40 men, their guns, axes and pitchforks, and the words 'Surrender to America'. By the end of the war, some of the largest American privateers could venture as far as the British Isles, and were more powerful than most contemporary warships in the fledgling US Navy. A small number of Loyalist privateers also put to sea during the war, and preyed on the shipping of their rebel countrymen. Packed with fascinating insights into the age of privateers, this book traces the development of these remarkable ships, and explains how they made such a significant contribution to the American Revolutionary War.

Coggeshall, the author of this work, is both well known and highly regarded by those interested in chronicles of the great days of sail during the early nineteenth century. Coggeshall's two volume work of his voyages as a crewman and officer of American schooners and his experiences with the navy of the United States are vital reading .... This book concerns the American privateers-- a subject the author knew well by close personal experience. Coggeshall commanded two letters-of-marque during the War of 1812-- David Porter and Leo. In this history he has attempted to embrace the fortunes of every ship, crew and commander and to describe the many battles at sea and the taking of 'prizes' that typified this engrossing conflict between the emergent American nation and the British--Publisher's description.
