Maritime incompetence
Editorial history
08/11/12: CSG, created page
Purpose of page
The MarineLives project is seeking to link and enhance HCA 13/71, not just to transcribe it. Marine incompetence is alleged and described in a number of HCA 13/71 cases and depositions.
All associates, facilitators, advisors and PhD Forum members are encouraged to contribute to this page from their knowledge of the material, and from their broader knowledge and interest in the topic.
- What types and examples of marine incompetence are described?
- To what extent is personal agency assumed versus an acceptance of act of God or the nature of the seas?
Adding footnotes
- Go into edit mode
- Insert immediately after the sentence or phrase you wish to annotate the following macro:
<ref>This is the footnote text</ref>
- Replace 'This is the footnote text' with the footnote you wish to add, using the format: first name, surname, title, (place of publication, date of publication), page or folio number
- Save the page
Creating an electronic link within the footnote to a digital source
- Using the link icon in the top RH menu bar in your open window, highlight the footnote text which you wish to become the clickable link. This will place square brackets round the text, within the existing curved brackets
e.g. <ref>[Electronic link to a digital source]</ref>
- Insert the URL of the digital source IN FRONT of the existing text, but still within the square brackets, leaving one space between the end of the URL and the start of the footnote text
e.g. <ref>[http://XXXXX Electronic link to a digital source]</ref>
- Save the page, and the footnote text will now show 'Electronic link to a digital source' as a clickable link, which, when clicked, will go to 'http://XXXXX'
Suggested links

Neere to the Wooll pack
- "Departed from the Hope (to the best of his remembrance) upon a Sunday morning next after the fore mentioned Saturday, and sayling by the Redstand XXXX and the fflatts that morning, and att that tyme there blew a very strong wind from the Northwest and By west, but the sayd shipp came not to the narrow nor did edge in as is pretended by this interrogatorie, but came neere to the Wooll pack which is out of the narrow, and there struck and lost her rudder"

Overloading of ship
John Moye, a twenty year old mariner from the parish of Saint Katherine by the Tower of London, gave evidence about the humiliating sinking of the Julian whilst taking on its lading from a lighter in the river Thames. Moye argued that the cause was the overloading of the ship by the lightermen.
- "was by waves thereof over flowed by the XXXX tyde slidd and all her ladeing sunke in the thames soe that nothing of he appears a bove water but her mast and a little of her sterne and the company of her was forced to forsake the sayd shipp…"
