OK, does anyone know for sure what actually happened where a prize was taken by either a merchant or naval ship and the only port they could get her to didn't have an Admiralty Court? I think the situation might have come up in one or another of O'Brien's Jack Aubrey novels (they always seemed to me to be meticulously researched) and I have an idea that there was an Admiralty agent in most ports frequented by British ships, but I'm not sure. Interesting point. |
