William Wood, mast maker

Thomas Twinney, a forty-five year old shipwright of Wapping, deposed on July 15th 1650 in the English High Court of Admiralty. He stated that he had often seen a mast which was now lying in "the yard of William Wood mast maker in Wapping". The mast belonged to the Mary of Greenwich (Master: James Kendall), and was the ship's main mast. The mast had been stored there following the casting away of the ship the previous winter whilst carrying a lading of coals from Newcastle to London.
