Synopsis
Reclaim Britain’s naval power and its long-standing maritime rights
This nonfiction work argues for restoring Britain’s ability to wage war at sea by using private vessels as an auxiliary to the Navy, challenging the 1856 Declaration of Paris. It lays out a case for reasserting maritime privileges as essential to national defense and a first-class naval power. The material traces the historical debate over prize law, neutral flags, and the role of privateering, and it explains how public action and legal interpretation could change the course of British maritime policy. It speaks to readers interested in national security, naval history, and constitutional questions about maritime power and international law.
- Explains why sea power hinges on the capture and control of enemy property.
- Outlines arguments for arming private vessels as an official naval resource.
- Discusses the implications of the Declaration of Paris and the push to withdraw from it.
- Offers a historical lens on how policy, law, and public action intersect in maritime rights.

Handbook of Maritime Rights: And the Declaration of Paris Considered
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricacies of maritime rights, a foundational principle that grants nations power over the seas for self-defense, but also permits them to seize enemy vessels and their cargo during wartime. The author traces the evolution of these rights, from the ancient practice of blockades to modern concerns about neutrality. A central theme is the conflict between the neutral right to trade and the belligerent right to prevent such trade from aiding their enemy. The author argues that the latter takes precedence, as neutrals should not profit from war and thus prolong conflicts. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of maritime rights, exploring their historical and legal contexts, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balance between national security and the rights of neutral parties. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
