==Project description==

[[File:Account Books 13102021.JPG|600px|thumb|right|HCA 30/636 in all its glory, just waiting for some collaborative work by volunteers]]

'''Marine Lives has kicked off a new collaborative online research project to partially transcribe and understand three ship account books from the 1620s and 1630s. Kickoff took place on Thursday, November 18th 2021, and the project will run till end June 2022. The project is about co-creation of a public resource, which will be published on the Marine Lives wiki and will be made available to all - public and academic historians alike (and those just intrigued by our past). The account books are part of a heterogenous collection of documents held within the archives of the English High Court of Admiralty, which reside at the National Archives in Kew. Our documents are held under the class mark HCA 30/636.'''
----
==HCA 30/636 document category==

HCA 30/636 is a document category which has been created to cover certain papers generated by the Prize Court jurisdiction of the English High Court of Admiralty papers. It contains nine sub-divisions. We have imaged all the documents within HCA 30/636 and will be making these available to volunteer collaborators online. Documents include three beautifully leather bound account books of various sizes, further paper bound account books, a letter copy book of letters written from on board ship, and various miscellaneous accounting documents relating to multiple voyages. In all we have over one thousand images.

We are compiling a running list of C17th ship account books - all languages. Please [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/C17th_ship_account_books_-_running_list take a look and contact us if you have comments or additions to this list].

'''We have created a new wiki page for volunteers to tell us a little about their research interests, and what they would like to get out of the Marine Lives Ship Account Book project. You can access this page by [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Volunteer_research_interests_and_goals Volunteer research interests and goals clicking the link here]'''

==Project management and communication==

This is going to be a very relaxed project running through to the middle of 2022 in which people are welcome to dip in and out, and to do as little or as much as they have time and interest for.

Colin Greenstreet, director of Marine Lives, will be managing the project and running a number of small facilitated teams. Each team will consist of four or five volunteers, together with Colin as team facilitator. We are forming the teams at the moment, and are planning to have a mix of volunteers from North America and Europe on each team, together with a mix of paleographical strengths, and other expertise. Team formation will be completed by Monday, November 29th 2021.

Charlie Wilson is putting together a small group to work on communication, so that we make goods use of the knowledge and materials we create with different audiences. [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Project_communication Click here for a page on project communication]

==Next steps through to end January 2022==

[[File:HCA 30636 Project Launch Pack Next Steps 18112021.JPG|800px|thumb|left|Next steps]]

'''The slide on the left summarises the project plan for the next two months. In those two months we will be getting to grip with the diverse manuscript material using high resolution images made available to project volunteers in Dropbox. Our priority for the first three or four weeks through to mid-December is to get everyone comfortable with the different hands used by the authors of this manuscript material. Picking up on discussion during our launch meeting, we will be holding six one hour on-line sessions for volunteers, combining some paleography tuition with some paleographic problem solving, using manuscript material from HCA 30/636.'''

==Matthew Craddock's will==

Note: This will (PROB 11/186/245) has been transcribed from the copy held by the National Archives. There is a transcription of Matthew Cradock's will in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register v. 9, no. 2, p. 122 (1855), in an article entitled ''Notes on the Cradock Family (communicated by W.H. Whitmore)''.

The NEHGR transcription appears to be based on a copy of the will entered into the register of the Medford, MA probate courts, as Craddock owned property there. It ends "Entered and recorded the 12th of February 1642 by Thomas Danforth, Recorder".

However, this widely replicated transcription includes many errors, miss-spellings, and omissions and it is not clear whether these are due to editing by the 19th century publishers, or differences between the copy of the will that was entered in the PCC books, and that which made it to America a year later.

<blockquote>

The account books are part of a heterogenous collection of documents held within the archives of the English High Court of Admiralty, which reside at the National Archives in Kew. Our documents are held under the class mark HCA 30/636.'''
----
==HCA 30/636 document category==

HCA 30/636 is a document category which has been created to cover certain papers generated by the Prize Court jurisdiction of the English High Court of Admiralty papers. It contains nine sub-divisions. We have imaged all the documents within HCA 30/636 and will be making these available to volunteer collaborators online. Documents include three beautifully leather bound account books of various sizes, further paper bound account books, a letter copy book of letters written from on board ship, and various miscellaneous accounting documents relating to multiple voyages. In all we have over one thousand images.

We are compiling a running list of C17th ship account books - all languages. Please [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/C17th_ship_account_books_-_running_list take a look and contact us if you have comments or additions to this list].

'''We have created a new wiki page for volunteers to tell us a little about their research interests, and what they would like to get out of the Marine Lives Ship Account Book project. You can access this page by [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Volunteer_research_interests_and_goals Volunteer research interests and goals clicking the link here]'''
----
==Project management and communication==

This is going to be a very relaxed project running through to the middle of 2022 in which people are welcome to dip in and out, and to do as little or as much as they have time and interest for.

Colin Greenstreet, director of Marine Lives, will be managing the project and running a number of small facilitated teams. Each team will consist of four or five volunteers, together with Colin as team facilitator. We are forming the teams at the moment, and are planning to have a mix of volunteers from North America and Europe on each team, together with a mix of paleographical strengths, and other expertise. Team formation will be completed by Monday, November 29th 2021.

Charlie Wilson is putting together a small group to work on communication, so that we make goods use of the knowledge and materials we create with different audiences. [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Project_communication Click here for a page on project communication]

==Next steps through to end January 2022==

[[File:HCA 30636 Project Launch Pack Next Steps 18112021.JPG|800px|thumb|left|Next steps]]

'''The slide on the left summarises the project plan for the next two months. In those two months we will be getting to grip with the diverse manuscript material using high resolution images made available to project volunteers in Dropbox. Our priority for the first three or four weeks through to mid-December is to get everyone comfortable with the different hands used by the authors of this manuscript material. Picking up on discussion during our launch meeting, we will be holding six one hour on-line sessions for volunteers, combining some paleography tuition with some paleographic problem solving, using manuscript material from HCA 30/636.'''

===The life of Andrew Hardy, master of the Abraham: Research notes ongoing===

====Family====

Andrew Hardy married Mary Temple at Saint Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney. The marriage was by licence from the Office of Faculties, but unfortunately the records from this time period are not extant.

<Blockquote>Andrew Hardy of Shadwell marinr & Mary Temple of ye same maid maried
by licence out of the office of Faculties Wednesday Novemb: 4 1629 <ref name="London Registers">Ancestry.com. ''London, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812''
Original data: Church of England Parish Registers, 1538-1812. London, England: London Metropolitan Archives; Reference Number: P93/DUN/265</ref></Blockquote>

Andrew and Mary's son George was baptised on 20th November 1631.

<blockquote>1631 Christnings
November
20 | George sonne of Andrew Hardy of Shadwell marinr & Mary [...] <ref name="London Registers" /></blockquote>

This image of the register is badly scanned, but other entries have the age in days at the RHS, so the original may provide this.

A daughter, Margaret was born in 1635.

<blockquote>Christenings 1635
Aprill | 8 | Margaret daughter of Andrew Hardy of Shadwell mariner & Mary ux | 6 [days old] <ref name="uxor">uxor = his wife</ref><ref name="London Registers 2">Ancestry.com. ''London, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812''
Original data: Church of England Parish Registers, 1538-1812. London, England: London Metropolitan Archives; Reference Number: P93/DUN/256</ref></blockquote>

A burial is recorded for Margaret in July 1644.

<blockquote>Burialls at Stepney 1644
July | 15 | Margarite daughter of Andrew Hardy of Shadwell Mariner & Mary uxr<ref name="uxor" /><ref name="London Registers 3">Ancestry.com. ''London, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812''
Original data: Church of England Parish Registers, 1538-1812. London, England: London Metropolitan Archives; Reference Number: P93/DUN/277</ref></blockquote>

Less than a month later, the burial of another child, Mary, appears.

<blockquote>Burialls at Stepney 1644
August | 9 | Mary daughter of Andrew Hardey of Shadwell Mariner & Mary uxr [uxor=wife] <ref name="London Registers 3" /></blockquote>

====Possible sibling====

In the same parish registers we find John Hardin, shipwright of Shadwell and his wife, Bridget Vade?. The couple married in Saint Dunstans in 1631.

John's surname is variously spelled Hardin, Harding or Hardinge, and Andrew Hardy's surname is similarly variable in its spelling, so it is possible that this is Andrew's brother and sister in law.

However, this is currently merely conjecture and requires further investigation.

<blockquote>Christnings at Stepney 1637
August | 2 | Andrew son of John Hardin of Shadwell Shipwright & Bridget ux | 4 [days old]<ref name="London Registers 2" /></blockquote>

Not all will be directly relevant to the materials here, but all are good practice.

Also on this page we will be including snips from the documents themselves, particularly for those "aha!" moments when you realise what a letter, or word is, and it shines light on other parts of the document. Please feel free to add these in the section below.

# Explore connection (if any) of Grace Hardwen [alt. Hardwyn; Hardwin; Harding(e)] and Abdrew Hary [alt. Hardee], master of the ''Abraham''
# William Pennoyer's will has already been transcribed [[MRP: William Pennoyer will|here]].

'''3. Transcribe Andrew Hardie's will'''

- WISHED BY Colin Greenstreet
- ACTION: Viv Weller has volunteered to do this

'''4. Profile Andrew Hardy, master of the ''Abraham'' of London (b.?; d. 1638)'''

- WISHED BY Colin Greenstreet

'''5. Research group of planters on Barbados around Marmaduke Rawdon in the 1620s and 1630s'''

- WISHED BY Lou Roper
- ACTIONS: Colin to contact Edinburgh academic Twitter friends to see if one of the them will image relevant sections from the Hay papers
- REQUEST TO LOU: Can you expand on this request, why it is interesting, and what the Hay papers may reveal?

'''6. Make register or an accessible profile of all noted merchants and their marks to help enable further research work'''

- WISHED BY Daisy Turnbull

'''7. Expand the footnote on the HCA 30/636/3 transcription wiki page for Kinsale, Ireland.'''

- Research and summarise the importance of Kinsale as an Irish port in the 1H C17th.

- WISHED BY Colin Greenstreet

'''8. Create oblong snippets of signatures, markes and/or initials used by mariners on the Abraham'''

- Create snippets and upload to [http://www.marinelives.org/index.php?title=Company_of_the_Abraham&redirect=no Company of the Abraham list wiki page], formatting to a standard width (I suggest 500 pixels) and adding the source and brief description
- For wiki markup to do this it is the same as when you uploaded your photos for your wiki profiles

- WISHED BY Colin Greenstreet

'''9. Create a consolidated price list for commodities brought to Barbados in the Abraham and sold there'''

- Use data from the factors ledger book for the Abrahm on Barbados (HCA 30/636/4)
- Express the prices in pounds of tobacco
- If you want to volunteer to do this (probably an hour's work), and don't know how to create a new wiki page and to link it to other pages, ask Colin or Charlie and they will show you how

- WISHED BY Colin Greenstreet

'''10. Research the tobacco market in the 1620s and 1630s'''

# Look at English, Dutch, Spanish, French cultivation of tobacco [Where? When started? What volumes?]
# How did plantation systems differ between English, Dutch, Spanish and French tobacco plantations?

==== Transcription conventions====
# Transcribe as you see the text, using original spelling
# Reproduce upper and lower case as written
# Expand contractions. No need to use square brackets as you expand the contracted word.
# Write shillings for ''s'' and pence for ''d''. Use a "£" sign before numeral, otherwise "pound" or "pounds"
# Put a square bracket around a word which is doubtful. Use capital "X" for each unknown letter in a word. Put a "?" at the start of the doubtful word in square brackets. As in [?AndrXX] or [?Andro].
# For weights and measures, which are often abbreviated, think "hundredweight" (112 pounds), "stones" (14 pounds), "pounds", "ounces" (16 ounces in a pound); "barrels", "butts", "hogsheads"; "gallons" (1 gallon = 4 quarts), "quarts" (1 quart = 2 pints), pints"; "ells" (measure of cloth). For more background on C17th weights and measures browse the [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Weights_and_Measures MarineLives weights and measures glossary]
# DON'T insert the amounts of money recorded in the account books if on the RH side of the page. Colin is sorting out most efficient way to enter tabular data in the wiki. Until then, concentrate on the words.
====Transcription tips====
Think laterally. Andrew Hardie's spelling in his account book in in HCA 30/636/3 is particularly unusual.

Colin (a half Scot) is convinced Hardie is a Scot, but has no proof, other than the intriguing fact that Hardie dictated his will, whilst sick and living in the "Scot's house" in Middleburg, after the ''Abraham'' had arrived there from Barbados.

Note on weights and measures from Michael Bennett: "The symbol is 'lb' for lbs of tobacco. There was very little cash circulating in the English colonies during the seventeenth century, including in Barbados. The main cash crop in production was therefore used as a commodity currency in commercial exchanges. In Barbados during the 1630s goods were bought and sold with reference to lbs of tobacco, but by the late 1640s this had changed to sugar in response to changing patterns of plantation production in Barbados."

'''Note on weights and measures from Michael Bennett:''' "The symbol is 'lb' for lbs of tobacco. There was very little cash circulating in the English colonies during the seventeenth century, including in Barbados. The main cash crop in production was therefore used as a commodity currency in commercial exchanges. In Barbados during the 1630s goods were bought and sold with reference to lbs of tobacco, but by the late 1640s this had changed to sugar in response to changing patterns of plantation production in Barbados."

CharlieWilson:

This page is a starting point for a discussion on how to make the information in this wiki accessible for anyone interested in the material, to improve its searchability, to encourage collaboration and to share interesting discoveries.

Initial discussion points include:

* Creation of a project glossary vs topic specific glossaries
* Creating a searchable master index of all glossary terms
* Locating other data sets within the wiki that may be of use to the wider community (e.g. genealogists, social historians)
* Sharing the progress of the project

As a collaborative project, Marine Lives benefits from the viewpoints and experiences of all its volunteers. Therefore I would invite anyone with an interest in the communication of information within this project to get in touch.

Charlie Wilson.

Are you interested in a startup collaborative online project to look at, partially transcribe and understand three ship account books from the 1620s and 1630s? You have come to the right place. Marine Lives is launching a new project and is seeking volunteer collaborators. This will be a project about co-creation of a public resource, which will be published on the Marine Lives wiki and made available to all - public and academic historians alike (and those just intrigued by our past).

==HCA 30/636 document category==

HCA 30/636 is a document category which has been created to cover certain papers generated by the Prize Court jurisdiction of the English High Court of Admiralty papers. It contains nine sub-references. We have imaged all the documents within HCA 30/636 and will be making these available to volunteer collaborators online. Documents include three beautifully leather bound account books of various sizes, further paper bound account books, a letter copy book of letters written from on board ship, and various miscellaneous accounting documents relating to multiple voyages. In all we have over one thousand images.

==Project description==

We are in start up mode. Our current thinking is to make the images available on DropBox or OneDrive and to use this MarineLives wiki as our collaboration platform - to share ideas, to provide support, and to be the vehicle to publish our transcriptions and synthesis. But we are open to your ideas about how to organise this project and nothing will be finalised until we have our team in place. You can get up to speed on our thinking by [https://twitter.com/Marinelivesorg/status/1448320605384753156 reading this Twitter Thread.]

We have had expressions of interest from people from many places - Mexico, Michigan, Texas, London, Newcastle to list a few - which is perfect given the virtual nature of our project and the broad geographic scope of the papers which include multiple voyages from England to the West Indies, the Mediterranean and to Northern Europe.

This is going to be a very relaxed project running through to the middle of 2022 in which people are welcome to dip in and out, and to do as little or as much as they have time and interest for.
----
==Project launch==

'''We have sent an email to everyone who has expressed this interest this weekend (Sunday, October 17th 2021), and have invited people addressed in that email to take a look at some sample images and to tell us about their research interests, skills and ideas for this project.

'''We are doing a soft project launch between now and Thursday, November 18th, when we will launch the project with a one hour ZOOM call for confirmed volunteers. The ZOOM call is planned for midday (EST), 5.pm (London), 6 pm (Germany) on Thursday, November 18th 2021.'''

'''In the meantime, the project leader ([http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/User:ColinGreenstreet Colin Greenstreet]) will contact each volunteer for a short (15-20 minute) chat about their research interests, and to induct them into basic wiki skills. If you want to learn the basics on the wiki side, [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Tools:_Basic_wiki_skills_%26_palaeographical_tips click here for a quick wiki primer].'''

'''The project will run from now until the middle of 2022, with the Marine Lives wiki as the principal platform for publishing the results of our collective research.'''

==Input from volunteers prior to our launch meeting==

'''We have created a new wiki page for volunteers to tell us a little about their research interests, and what they would like to get out of the Marine Lives Ship Account Book project. You can access this page by [http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Volunteer_research_interests_and_goals Volunteer research interests and goals clicking the link here]'''

'''In the next few days we will be giving all volunteers editorial access to our wiki, and will be giving you a ten minute lesson in how to add wiki content, how to make simple edits, and how to add a new page of your own.'''

'''So when we get together for the first time on October 18th, 2021, for our one hour launch ZOOM meeting, we will have started each of us to become familiar with using the main publication and collaboration platform for this project - the Marine Lives wiki.'''

His doctoral thesis ("The Atlantic Gate: The Anglo-Huguenot Channel Community, 1558-1685") examines Anglo-French mercantile networks in English Channel ports during the French Wars of Religion, when a militant alignment of Huguenot and Elizabethan elites oversaw a decades-long collaboration in privateering and experimental transatlantic plantation ventures. He argues that the maritime society of the Channel region produced merchant capital, maritime expertise, and formative models for northern trade and colonial settlement in the Americas.

I'm co-founder of [https://manyheadedmonster.wordpress.com/ the many-headed monster], a history blog, and I tweet at [https://twitter.com/brodie_waddell @Brodie_Waddell]. I live in Cambridge with my wife and three-year-old son, so spend most of my spare time building strange lego structures or playing at the park.

==Charlie Wilson==

'''Charlie Wilson''' is a resting librarian, genealogist and home educator. She loves expanding her skill set and generally learning a little about everything. She discovered the Marine Lives project after spending time tracking her non-conformist ancestors in the travel journal of Thomas Prince, who sailed for New England in 1717 and was very meticulous in his observations. The opportunity to work with 17th century ship books at the very moment that she was reading about [https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:477304220$26i "this am a qt many porposes play about our ship"] seemed serendipitous.
