Blockade, английский
- When armed forces prevent the transportation of goods or people into or out of an area.
- The investment of a town or fortress by sea and land; shutting up all the avenues, so that it can receive no relief.—to blockade a port is to prevent any communication therewith by sea, and cut off supplies, in order to compel a surrender when the provisions and ammunition are exhausted.—to raise a blockade is to discontinue it.—blockade is violated by egress as well as by ingress. warning on the spot is sufficient notice of a blockade de facto. declaration is useless without actual investment. if a ship break a blockade, though she escape the blockading force, she is, if taken in any part of her future voyage, captured in delicto, and subject to confiscation. the absence of the blockading force removes liability, and might (in such cases) overrules right.
- Closing a port, harbor, coastline, or shipping lane to prevent passage, entrance, or exit by hostile and (possibly) neutral vessels. blockade-runner: a vessel which risks all hazards to pass through a blockade.
- The closure of a route, usually to allow engineering works.
Republican party, английский
