For Enhanced members

Convoy Fraternities, Factors, and Foreign Credit

A convoy is an agreement before it is a formation. Hulls are entered, a season is named, a rate is struck, a rendezvous is set, and articles are subscribed that govern station-keeping, signals, straggling, and what happens when a hull cannot hold her place. The escort is hired against that agreement rather than the other way round, which is the fact that surprises anybody who has only seen a convoy from the shore.

The rest of this chapter is kept for Enhanced members of the Hall, who may read every chapter of the seven volumes.
