Reclaim Britain’s naval power and its long-standing maritime rights

This nonfiction work argues for restoring Britain’s ability to wage war at sea by using private vessels as an auxiliary to the Navy, challenging the 1856 Declaration of Paris. It lays out a case for reasserting maritime privileges as essential to national defense and a first-class naval power. The material traces the historical debate over prize law, neutral flags, and the role of privateering, and it explains how public action and legal interpretation could change the course of British maritime policy. It speaks to readers interested in national security, naval history, and constitutional questions about maritime power and international law.

• Explains why sea power hinges on the capture and control of enemy property.
• Outlines arguments for arming private vessels as an official naval resource.
• Discusses the implications of the Declaration of Paris and the push to withdraw from it.
