A privateer was a private warship authorised by a national government. At the time, many merchant vessels were armed with cannons, and naval officers and ratings expected to benefit from prize money if they captured an enemy ship. The privateer was distinguished by the legal framework it operated in—authorised to attack enemy shipping and be treated as prisoners of war if captured. If war was not declared, or if the privateer preyed on neutral shipping, the privateer might well be treated as a pirate by the enemy.

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's vessel joined two Greenpeace boats in the Antarctic waters last week to try to stop the whale hunt. A combination of a fast boat and communications technology have enabled the environmentalists to keep up with the hunt and send pictures of it worldwide, which has undoubtedly added to the escalation. See "Warship claim 'a publicity stunt'," Denis Peters, The Australian, 1/2/06.
