About This Book

This volume gathers first-person and edited accounts of naval operations describing small squadrons seizing merchant and armed vessels, conducting coastal raids, and engaging convoys. Narratives detail tactics such as boarding and cutting cables, the allocation of prizes and cargoes, the handling of captives, and logistical constraints like shortages of powder and men. Episodic voyage reports are combined with inventories of seized goods, marginal notes, and editorial annotations to present practical, tactical perspectives on maritime expeditionary activity and its immediate political and economic consequences.
