Paragraph reads: A vessel that ignores warnings to return to port or divert from its intended destination inside the blockade area will likely be boarded by U.S. forces. U.S. Marines attached to the U.S.S. Tripoli, currently operating in the Arabian Sea, are trained to conduct such boardings and continue to train for these missions. Additionally, U.S. special operations teams are trained and available to conduct both opposed and unopposed boardings. Once U.S. forces have captured the ship, it would be searched, and a decision would be made to either return the ship and its cargo, if not contraband, to the owner or to seek condemnation of the vessel as a prize. Rooted in admiralty law, prize law requires a capturing belligerent state to seek adjudication over its claim by a domestic court authorized to make determinations as to whether the capture of the vessel and cargo was lawful. If the capture was lawful, the belligerent state may take ownership of the vessel and/or cargo. In the U.S., district courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear prize cases.

Text reading: This standout edition of The Tour of Doctor Syntax in Search of the Picturesque redefines traditional expectations for an edition and its editors while advancing new forms of possibility and best practices for emerging scholar-practitioners. In this lively revitalization of a Regency-era bestseller, readers encounter a public-facing vision through an engaging and approachable reconceptualization of the traditional textual apparatus, an editorial team composed of an innovative high school teacher and sixteen students, and an inspired decision to place William Combe in conversation with Jane Austen, a Combe fan who shared his interest in picturesque social satire. Other contextual materials recover the book’s stunning reception, and the descriptions of adulatory spinoffs, merchandise, an eponymous racehorse, board games, and stage pantomimes resonate with twenty-first-century readers and scholars of fandom.
