The term "sailor of fortune" refers to the similar idiom, "soldier of fortune" (hired mercenary, or an adventurer). However, the naval version is not limited to privateers and other seagoing entrepreneurs, and may refer to professional sailors of a country's navy: those who have engaged in conflicts with pirates, warlords, and others outside the scope of declared wars.
