*Acasta* recaptured *St Lawrence* in March. The British sailed *St Lawrence* to [Bermuda](/wiki/Bermuda "Bermuda") where an [Admiralty Court](/wiki/Admiralty_Court "Admiralty Court") ruled that as the capture took place after the treaty of peace, in accordance with the terms of peace she was to be returned to the United States as a legitimate prize of war.Viele (1996\), p. 79\.


Was St Lawrence a legitimate prize of war according to international law?
