Biographical synthesis
Lucas Meadowes (b.ca.1627; d.?). Waterman.
Resident in Southwark in 1660.
Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Thirty-three year old Lucas Meadowes deposed on December 3rd 1660 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined touching "The White Beare alias Recovery"
Meadowes testified that about a year prior to his deposition, he, being a waterman, had carried a number of men to a ship wherof a Mr Sewell was master. He believed this vessel to be the White Beare. The men coming on board the ship, Sewell delivered the ship up to Mr Perry, who was one of the men brought by Meadowes to the ship. Meadowes then carried them ashore again. The men then went to an ale house in Shadwell dock, very close by to where the ship lay, and a Mr Wilde then made a bargain with Perry for the ship. The details of the bargain Meadowes could not testify to. Meadowes had been promised by Mr Perry that he would be satisfied "for his lost time" and denied that he had been instructed by Mr Perry "how to depose herein".[1]
