- catalog description "A privateer is an armed ship that is privately owned and manned, but is commissioned by a government to fight or harass enemy ships during wartime. A government authorized a privateer by means of "letters of marque." Privateering was a way for a government to mobilize armed ships and sailors without spending treasury resources or committing naval officers. The privateer ship's crew would hope to capture enemy ships and collect the cargo as their "prize."".
