==Biographical synthesis==
William Wade (b. ca. 1609; d. ?). Mariner.

Cook of the ship the ''Saphir''.

Resident in 1656 in the parish of Saint Catherines near the Tower.

==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Forty-seven year old William Wade deposed on XX in the High Court of Admiralty.<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.261r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.261r]]</ref> He ws examined on interrogatories in the case of "A busines of examination of wittnesses upon interrogatories minstred on the part and behalfe of ffrancis Ash and Company owners of the ''Saphir''".<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.258v Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.258v]]</ref>

William Wade stated that he was cook of the ''Saphir'' on her last voyage from London, when she was surprised by a very violent storm some eighty leagues off the Scilly islands. The storm lasted five hours and the master and company were at great risk of being cast away. The master gave order to his company "to cut downe the mayne mast by the boards and to cut the shroudes". The company began first "to cutt the mayne mast, but soone gave over that and cutt the shroudes and the mayne stays, verily being cutt (and not before) the mayne mast with the rowleing of the shipp by, violense of the sea brake in sunder a good way above where it was begunne to be cut". Wade went on to describe the "shrouds and stay being cutt and mast broken the topp mast and the mayne yarde and mayne topp mast yarde and their sayles fell downe and were lost in the sea." Further, to save the ship, its lading and their lives, the master and company were forced "to cutt the skiff a peeces it being full of water and heave it overboard and alsoe to cutt and dropp two Anchors from her star board side".

Ineveitably there was damage to the ship's lading, despite the goods efforsts of the master and crew. William Wade was sure "that the hatches were before the sayd strome well covered with good and sufficient tarr paulings and nayled downe with hoopes to jeepe them from flying up and all care used by the Master and Company to preserve the sayd shipps ladeing from dammage".<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.261v Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.261v]]</ref>
