Impressment Impressment was the act of "collecting" drunken sailors from pubs etc since the ship was shorthanded. It seems obvious that collecting prime seamen would be preferred since training topmen and gunners etc. takes time and when you are at war you dont always have the luxury of time. Officially taking sailors off U.S. ships was to be limited to only those who it could be shown were British sailors who had deserted from the Royal Navy and gone to the U.S., a common practice. Not everyone is perfect. Some sailors did not desert from R.N. ships and some Captains did not abuse their position.

Impressment, colloquially, "the Press", refers to the act of taking men into a navy by force and without notice. It was used by the Royal Navy, beginning in 1664 and during the 18th and early 19th centuries, in wartime, as a means of crewing warships, although legal sanction for the practice goes back to the time of Edward I of England. The Royal Navy impressed many merchant sailors, as well as some sailors from other nations. People liable to impressment were eligible men of seafaring habits between the ages of 18 and 45 years.Non-seamen were impressed as well, though rarely.Wiki
