Painting of a French privateer engaging with a German ship (1797) - Credit: unknown
Sir Thomas Bertram's sea voyage to Antigua would have been a dangerous one, taking place during the Napoleonic Wars when Britain was at war with France.
A privateer was a privately owned ship staffed by non-Navy personnel, which was commissioned by the government for wartime use, especially the capture of enemy merchant shipping.
