Cartel (ship)
text:
Cartel ships, in international law, are ships employed on humanitarian voyages, in particular, to carry communications or prisoners between belligerents. They fly distinctive flags, including a flag of truce. Traditionally, they were unarmed but for a single gun retained for signalling purposes. Cartel ships were used on the basis of intergovernmental agreements, which were called 'cartels' between the 17th and the 19th century. A ship serving as a cartel was not subject to seizure or capture. H
