This page is for the transcription of digital images in the HCA 30/636/3 Dropbox folder

Transcriptions contributed by Colin Greenstreet, Ian Friel, Michael Powell-Davies, Jen Waghorn, and Charlie Wilson

Transcription conventions

  1. Transcribe as you see the text, using original spelling
  2. Reproduce upper and lower case as written
  3. Expand contractions. No need to use square brackets as you expand the contracted word.
  4. Write shillings for s and pence for d. Use a "£" sign before numeral, otherwise "pound" or "pounds"
  5. 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].
  6. 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 MarineLives weights and measures glossary
  7. For ordinal and cardinal numbers, very occasionally the roman as opposed to arab system is used
  8. 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.

  1. ↑ "sey" = sea
  2. ↑ "scheast" = chest. Andrew Hardie places an "s" before"ch" as in "scheast" ans "schardges"
  3. ↑ Modern shoes exist in two and three soled versions. See, for example, Church's double sole range
  4. ↑ "okkome" = oakum. "Oakum is a preparation of tarred fibre used to seal gaps. Its main traditional applications were in shipbuilding, for caulking or packing the joints of timbers in wooden vessels...In ship caulking, it was forced into the seams using a hammer and a caulking iron, then sealed into place with hot pitch." (Wikipedia entry: Oakum)
  5. ↑ "ankeretsch" = anchorage; "berkeinge" = berthing. Anchorage and berthing charges are petty port charges paid by ships in Early Modern (and Modern) ports. EXPAND THIS NOTE
  6. ↑ 'Item from the searchers feis of our cokked' - i.e. paid to the customs searchers to as a fee to have a document sealed with a ccket to show that dues had been paid on goods.
  7. ↑ "sogers" = souldiers
  8. ↑ "Cinsall" = Kinsale in Ireland
  9. ↑ Possibly to 'sound the bell athwart or opposite the town'.
  10. ↑ Apparently the word 'me' repeated.
  11. ↑ "My met hakker" was Phillop (or Phillip] Hakker. Hakker was one of two master's mates in the Abraham of London. The other was John Jay or Joy. See list of company of the Abraham of London
  12. ↑ 'Breaming' or burning off marine growths on the underwater part of the hull. This seems to have been connected with caulking - see 'thrums' and 'okkum' below.
  13. ↑ Possibly 'rissom', heads of corn or some other grain - OED.
  14. ↑ Waste wool or another cloth used to make mops for applying pitch or tar to the hull.
  15. ↑ Oakum was used with pitch or tar to caulk the plank seems in a ship. Normally it consisted of fibres unpicked from old ropes (OED), but in this case, unless 'thair' simply means 'there', it may have derived from animal hair.
  16. ↑ Legal charges incurred in connection with ship's carpenter of the Abraham, who appears to have been imprisoned in Kinsale, Ireland
