These volumes provide the U.S.'s case presented before the Tribunal of Arbitration set up between the U.S. and Britain to resolve disputes over seal fishing rights in the Bering Sea. During the course of the dispute, the U.S. had seized several Canadian sealing ships, alleging that they were encroaching in U.S. jurisdictional waters off the Pribilof Islands of Alaska: at stake was the future of seal fisheries in the area altogether, as the offending sealers made a practice of killing principally female seals, endangering the population as whole. The U.S. and Britain, on behalf of Canada, agreed to convene a Tribunal of Arbitration to decide the jurisdictional issue, which eventually found in favor of Britain.
