Privateer

Privateers engaged in warfare at sea  while under the commission of a nation. This commission, also known as a letter of marque, empowered individuals to carry out hostilities. The hostilities included taking foreign vessels and crews as prizes and prisoners. Privateering allowed nations to raise revenue for war by leveraging these privately owned ships to supplement their power. The privateers earned a greater income and profit than able as merchant mariners. Privateers often turned to piracy once wars ended.
