"Prize Court" records ?
Posted by: frank ()

Hi all !

Michael Lowrey (in response to a question below about `bounties` for sinking u-boats) mentioned that many were awarded immediately post-war, in 1919, by the Prize Court; he quotes a couple of examples.

Have been scouting round the new "National Archive" website, and I suspect that the records of the Prize Court are probably lurking among the many tens of thousands of Admiralty documents/books there. To save my re-inventing the wheel, may I ask if anyone on this forum has access to them ? Or are they published ?

Incidentally, I think it`s popularly called the Prize Court, but may be properly called something slightly different - the High Court of Admiralty, even ? (Or it that something different ?)

Grateful for any more information !

Yours aye - Frank
