- W2503693588 abstract "England’s Commonwealth government produced the first modern code for regulating the navy. The Laws of War and Ordinances of the Sea, enacted in 1652, contained thirty-nine articles governing all aspects of shipboard conduct deemed important by members of parliament. As might be expected in a time when Englishmen were firmly committed to expanding seaborne trade and deeply concerned over the threats posed by commercial rivals, particularly the Dutch, the Laws of War complemented earlier Navigation Acts and other maritime regulations adopted to enhance the nation’s economic strength. Pressing mercantile concerns were manifest in provisions of the Laws of War that governed passports, bills of lading, prize money, piracy, privateering, pillage, and convoying of merchant ships. A good many of the items, over a dozen, were aimed at maintaining good order on board ship. There was to be no quarreling, theft, or embezzlement of the navy’s property. Murder was proscribed along with threatening admirals. At least two of the provisions inadvertently testified to the poor conditions of service in the Commonwealth fleet. One explained that having pay in arrears was not an acceptable reason for refusing to fight, and the other prohibited seditious commentary about the quality of the food. Ten regulations dealt with treasonable activities, spying, sedition, desertion, encouraging others to desert, and aiding the enemy." @default.
