Resident in 1656 in Ipswich in the county of Suffolk.
A different Gilbert Waters, a twenty-four year old mariner of Yarmouth in the county of Norfolk, made his own deposition in the High Court of Admiralty on December 14th 1654.[1]
Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Forty-two year old Gilbert Waters deposed on May 19th 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation on behalf of Brandling in the cause of "Complin against Brandling".[2]
Gilbert Waters stated that he "was one of the companie of the hoy the Primrose for two voyages ending about two moneths before shee was lost and then left her". At the time that Waters left her, which was "about two moneths before her losse in controversie shee was well and sufficienty furnished and provided of all tackle apparrell and furniture fitt for such a vessell and alsoe of sailes, cables, anchors, masts and all other appurtenances". Waters went on board the hoy again at Ipswich "about a moneth after such his leaving her, and about a moneth before shee was lost and then found and sawe that shee was soe well furnished fitted and provided of all such necessaries and furniture aforesaid, as shee had bin when hee soe left serving in her".[3]
The company of the Primrose consisted of three men and a boy. This was the size of the company when Gilbert Waters served in her, and was the correct size of company, especially for a voyage in the wintertime between London and Ipswich.[4] Waters described his ship as "formerly the passage hoy betweene Ipswich and London".[5]
