But official government /Royal vessels did give some respect to the captured seamen, even if they took the loot. At best I like to say it was a deterrent, plus family members could appeal to the govt to find missing seamen if they were registered. If captured seamen could escape, they often were able to board other American (friendly) ships.Tracing Ancestors, an a3Genealogy Partnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479631946579184004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820176023454345900.post-9981709090511932202013-01-11T11:26:55.193-06:002013-01-11T11:26:55.193-06:00Thanks so much.

I suppose not, if some of them were captured and their certificate confiscated. But these certificated must have done some good.<br /><br />Thank you for this database! It makes me wish I had more seamen in my family!Mariann Reganhttp://mariannregan.authorsxpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820176023454345900.post-35961363724146990392013-01-08T07:19:53.530-06:002013-01-08T07:19:53.530-06:00Great post, Kathleen!
