Protection of U S Flag Seen in Transfer Not Guarding Prize
In San Francisco on January 24, British consul general Rowsince stated that renaming the steamer Alexandria to Sacramento, changing its flag to American, and transferring ownership to a California firm does not shield the vessel from British naval capture if it leaves the three mile limit. He says Alexandria remained a legitimate British prize and would likely be seized if it cleared the Golden Gate, regardless of the registry change. The ship has been laid up since war began, with sale to an American company previously arranged. Representatives Philip Taylor and associates indicated plans to move the Sacramento from there to South America.
