Canadian Privateers
By definition a privateer is either the ship, the crew, or the captain of a vessel licensed by a particular government during times of war to prey on enemy ships. Canadian privateers played an important role in several wars, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries. Most sailed from Nova Scotia because of its close proximity to the United States and the North Atlantic. Often considered little more than legal pirating, "by mid 1700s [privateering] was carefully regulated, respectable and as law abiding as the navy," according to Daniel Conlin, Curator of Marine History at the <a name="Maritime_Museum_of_the_Atlantic"><a href="http://maritime.museum.gov.ns.ca/">Maritime Museum of the Atlantic</a> in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
