  The grounds upon which this order was based were (1) the injustice of granting privileges to Virginia ship owners, not enjoyed by the owners of English vessels, trading in Virginia waters; (2) the success of the navigation laws would be impaired by creating a Virginia fleet, able to transport tobacco, without the assistance of English vessels; and (3) owners of English ships might be tempted to order them as belonging to Virginians. Teste, Joseph Billups, Jr. Various statistics were given by different writers for the number of Virginia owned vessels in the period just before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War.
