The book remains one of the main sources for historians studying pre-Christian Tonga. He stayed in Tonga for about four years before travelling back to Britain on a passing ship, recounting his adventures to amateur anthropologist John Martin in An Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands. The Port-au-Prince was originally built in France but was captured by the British and set sail from London in 1805.ДЄfter almost two years at sea, during which it raided Madrid's settlements in Peru and plundered Spanish ships, it planned to hunt whales migrating through the Pacific and made its way to Tonga.ДЄ teenage crew member named William Mariner survived the massacre, eventually becoming a favourite of the king and adopting the name Toki Ukamea, or Iron Axe. 'Only one ship of that era has ever gone missing in Ha'apai, so if it's not the Port-au-Prince, what is it?' 'That's the most exciting thing to me, not the treasure,' he said. Mr Rice said conditions would be too rough for further dives until November or December and the first priority would be trying the verify that the Port-au-Prince's final resting place had been found. He added: 'It will be well and truly buried by now and it'll take a lot of work to get to it.'ДЄdventurer's story: Teenage crew member William Mariner survived the massacre and became a favourite of the king, nicknamed Iron Axe, before returning home to tell his tale 'If it's the Port-au-Prince then it's the most significant wreck in Tonga's history.'ДЄsked if he believed there was a lost trove of pirate treasure on the sea floor, he said that if the ship is the one it is believed to be: 'It's there.' 'We want to make sure the area's properly mapped and everything that's found is photographed and documented,' he said. Mr Rice was reluctant to reveal too much about the wreck's location, fearing an influx of treasure hunters. 'There's very little left of the ship, it's been pounded by four- to five-metre swells for 200 years, so there's wreckage scattered all over the sea floor,' he told AFP. Resort owner Darren Rice, one of only two divers to have visited the site, said it was located on a reef just off the island of Ha'ano in an area renowned for its rough seas. Local divers are now mapping the wreck for further study. The cost was borne by investors hoping to profit from prize money earned from captured treasure, rather than from public money.Д«ritain used privateering as a way to intercept some of the wealth the Spanish and Portuguese were taking from the New World before beginning their own trans-Atlantic settlement, and a way to assert naval power before a strong Royal Navy emerged. Privateers are given government authorisation, allowing nations to disrupt their enemy's commerce and pressuring rival powers to deploy warships to protect merchant trade against the raiders.ДЄt times, the practice has allowed would-be pirates to operate under a veil of legitimacy.

The distinction between a privateer and pirate ship is vague, since their work is generally the same - attacking and plundering other vessels.
