Prize money, английский
Under maritime law, the captors of a legally-seized vessel are entitled to a percentage of the value of the captured ship and any goods it might be carrying. [1] the royal navy’s heyday for such payment was during the napoleonic wars. if the prize was a warship, the government bought it at a fair price and added head money for each member of its crew. if it was a merchantman, prize money was the proceeds of selling both the vessel and its cargo. [2] britain also awarded prize money in both world wars. [3] in the united states, the principle has been upheld by the constitution, and federal courts have awarded prize money to usn officers and crews. the last distribution being to uss omaha for the capture in november 1941 of german blockade-runner odenwald, disguised as an american merchantman. [4] the term currently refers to a bonus paid to the crews of usn ships winning a battle efficiency pennant. [5] pirates referred to prize money as “purchase.”
