Déjà bien avant les guerres napoléoniennes, on trouvait dans tous les ports importants un service de recrutement («impress service», du vieux français «prest» ou prêt : tout homme recruté bénéficiait du prêt d'un shilling et devenait par là-même «Prest man»). Dans des lieux de «rendez-vous», le capitaine du service, ou lieutenant dans les petites villes, formait un groupe d'hommes, souvent des voyous locaux, afin d'encourager les hommes entre 18 et 55 ans à s'engager dans la marine. 1, record 4, French, - service%20de%20recrutement
