Your very own letter of Marque
Listening to Stan Rogers on Pandora, I did a little search on privateers and found this.
Dan Conlin's do-it-yourself Letter of Marque
Of course, being a Canadian site, this letter authorizes the seizure of United States vessels, so this might put you at odds with Homeland Security.
Quote:
|
to apprehend, seize, and take the Ships, Vessels and Goods Belonging to the United States of America, or to any persons being Subjects of France, according to His Majesty's Commission and Instruction aforesaid

You would have to edit this actual copy of a US marque from 1812 to be more legal in the US.
Quote:
|
authorizing Nicholas Millin captain, and William Stetson lieutenant of the said Brig and the other officers and crew thereof, to subdue, seize, and take any armed or unarmed British vessel, public or private, which shall be found within the jurisdictional limits of the United States, or elsewhere on the high seas, or within the waters of the British dominions,
