Navigation Act — Boreas Enforcement

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A sailing fleet. Not a portrait.

Overview

The three-year health claim stays on Boreas Three Years No Deaths. The later eight-week restraint stays on Eight Weeks Duresse — Nevis. This note covers the enforcement order only.1

The Order

Southey says Nelson produced the statutes, read the words of the act, and apparently convinced the commander-in-chief. Accordingly orders were given to enforce the navigation act.2

The spoken prime-minister comparison stays off this page. Governor Shirley’s reply stays on RESEARCH_QUEUE.
