Dutch ..... Het varen op buit door particuliere schepen in oorlogstijd. Het werd aan particulieren toegestaan door het verlenen van kaperbrieven ('lettres de marque'), vergunningen verleend door een overheidsinstantie. Te onderscheiden van 'piraterij', het varen op buit zonder officiƫle opdracht van een overheid. |
