Privateers
Owners or captains of privately commissioned ships permitted under government license (letters of marque) to attack enemy shipping. Without such authorization they were pirates. Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkins both engaged in privateering during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Privateering continued until outlawed by the Declaration of Paris (16 April 1856)
