A Call for Naval Prize Reform and My Remain Observations
The author argues forchanges to prize law and rewards for captains of warships who retake merchant ships. He proposes granting full property in enemy captures to captains and crews as incentive, while deeming those who fail to retake ships as unworthy of public service. He references ships and ports like Down, Bristol, Rupert's Prize, Barbadoes, Jamaica, Caroline, Cowes, and mentions letters from the London Evening.
