戦争状態にある一国の政府から、その敵国の船を攻撃し、その船や積みを奪う許可を得た個人の船
A privateer was a privately-owned ship authorized by a government to attack and capture enemy vessels during wartime, combining private enterprise with military purposes. Privateers mattered because they allowed nations to expand their naval power and warfare capabilities without directly operating all the ships themselves, as shown by this example of a French-commissioned privateer engaging in combat during the Napoleonic era.
