Перевод: impressment
[существительное]
насильственная вербовка; реквизиция
Тезаурус:
- The Napoleonic war severely strained Anglo-American affairs, owing to the problems arising from a belligerent-;neutral relationship, and Merry clashed with the Americans in defending the British impressment of seamen, and restrictions on neutral trade to colonial and blockaded ports.
- The monopolistic merchants found that they had insufficient capital to advance the loans required; there was much evasion of the monopolies; and the export trade itself was disrupted by the crown's impressment of merchant shipping for war, and its political pressures on Flanders.
- Officers of merchant ships were particularly vulnerable if they did not have in their possession a written protection from impressment issued by the Admiralty, and David Scott was enabled to oblige both Provost Watt of Forfar and several influential merchants of Dundee by securing the freedom of Peter Brown, the mate of the ship John and Nancy of Dundee, though in this case the Dundee magistrates had to provide an able seaman as a replacement for Brown before he was freed from the pressing tender.
