The treaty with Tripolis was the last to be negotiated between Sweden and the Barbary states during the 18th century. A treaty with Algiers had been negotiated in 1729 and Tunisia followed in 1736. The main aim from the Swedish side was to establish a system of ship’s passports, so that Swedish merchants could trade freely in the Mediterranean and not be attacked by Barbary pirates. This treaty is a bit more detailled than the preceeding ones, and some of the regulations are different. To note is that a Swedish war captain was allowed to keep a Swedish slave that had boarded his ship, thus making him a free man, which was not the case for a commercial captain.
