The international law is that during war times you can blockade ships of WAR supplies, but not regular, neccassary supplies. i.e. You may blow up an enemy ship full of weapons, but you may not destroy a ship full of food and water. The British broke international law by destroying ships with only neccesarry supplies. Eventually they ended up destroying ships full of BOTH items of interest. Hope this helps for everyone in Mrs. Tucker's history class that feels the need to go to answers(dot)com. :)
