Comment

A privateer is a person (usually the owner, captain or crew member of an armed civilian ship) authorized by a letter of marque (also called a "letter of commission" or "letter of errand") to attack in time of war any ship flying the flag of an enemy state, especially its merchant traffic, leaving the war fleet to attack military objectives. Privateers should therefore not be confused with pirates, since they carry out their activity according to the laws of war, only in times of war and with the authorization of their government. If captured, they are entitled to the status of prisoner of war. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corsaire
