1 The pertinent part of Article 3 reads as follows: “Enemy merchant ships which left their last port of departure before the commencement of the war, and are encountered on the high seas while still ignorant of the outbreak of hostilities, can not be confiscated. They are only liable to detention, on the understanding that they shall be restored after the war without compensation, or to be requisitioned, or even destroyed, on payment of compensation, but in such cases provision must be made for the safety of the persons on board as well as the security of the ship’s papers.” Germany and Russia made reservations to this article at the signature and ratification of the convention.
