Notes
Canary wine
Canary wine was frequently sent to Sir George Oxenden and others at the Surat factory as a gift, accompanying letters
- Cesar Chambrelan, writing to Sir George Oxenden from Carwar, mentions a dozen bottles of french wine and 2 dozen bottles of Canary which Chambrelan’s father asks Sir George Oxenden to accept from him[1]
- Paul French, a London merchant, sent a case of canary wine to Mathew Gray in Surat.
There is á Case of Canary for M:r Gray (if liveing w:ch God Grant) if not pray please to except of it in Custody of Cap:t ffisher m’ked in y:e wood GM:[2]
- Henry Dawes and Hugh Squire included an invoice with a letter to Sir George Oxenden for six cases of canary wine"[3]
- Humphrey Giffard praised the Canaries as a source of sack, in contrast with clarets from France:
pray God in heaven conferme it by his power & goodness, That o:e Noble brave King & kingdome may flourish in a lasting peace & prosperity, the East India trade, & all be advanced to y:e height of yo:e Ambition shipps of Golde flow in daylie from Affrica, silver from America, silks from Italie, ?sackes from Canaries, Clarets from ffrance, suger from Portugall, etc from etc, & nothing from Holland[4]
"[June 22nd, 1657] This evening came into port the Duch commander Ruyter, with six sail of ships of war. They want but nine dayes from Allicant, whence they bring newes, that the Spanyard had taken a citty from the Portuges, on the frontiers, of very greate import; but thes Duch are so partial for the Spanyards, that we cannot believ them. They lykwys report, that general Blak's fleet appearing befor the Canaryes, the Spanyards fyred theyr own gallions, lest they should be taken from them; but on better information we find they were fyred by general Blak (14 gallions in al) and he had lest 12 ships at the y lands, and was returned back to Calis with 24 saile."[5]
