Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

Fifty-three year old Thomas ffeild deposed on November 26th 1659 in the High Court of Admiralty. He ws examined on an allegation on behalf of John Hall, master of the ship the Agreement, in the case of "Sorrell against Hall".[2]

Thomas ffeild said he knew both the ship the Areeement (Naster: John Hall) and the ship the Abigail (Late Master: Thomas Laverick). He stated that on October 20th 1658 the Agreement had come from Newcastle in company with a large fleet of ships bound for London and other English ports. The Abigail came out of Newcastle on the same tide and was astern of the Agreement when they came out of Tinmouth haven.[3]

Thomas ffeild knew the details of the events because he was at that time carpenter of the ship the Blessing of Maningtree, which was one of the fleet of ships including the Agreement and the Abigail.[4]
