==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
'''February 1656'''

Fourty-four year old Isaac Taylor deposed on February 28th 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation dated February 1st 1656 on behalf of Keate and Jennings in the cause of "Keate Jennings and others against ffrederick Chowne and others".<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.19r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.19r]]</ref>

"Ciprus woolls are putt in very great baggs, much bigger than the cotton woolls of other places, by reason whereof they are stowed with much labour and difficulty, especially after the vessell whereon they are laden hath receyved any considerable number of these baggs. And by like experience he knoweth it to be true, that forty four men in a shipp of two hundred and eighty tonnes in which 100 baggs of cotton reeles and 400. and odde baggs of galls are allready laden will find sufficient labour to receive on board and steive eight baggs of those woolls a day one day with another, and indeed judgeth, that if they stow and steeve as they ought they can scarce possibly exceed that proportion, for he saith he hath often seene that fifty of this deponents owne men in a shipp of larger tonnage though they have plyed their worke with great industry have never bene not able to receive and steeve above eight baggs a day one day with another".<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.22r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.22r]]</ref>

"Being by profession a mariner and having bene master and commander of shipps for the fifteen years and having made four severall voyages to Ciprus, he knoweth it experimentally to be true, That Ciprus woolls are putt in very great baggs, much bigger than the Cotton woolls of other places, by reason whereof they are stowed with much labour and difficulty, especially after the vessell whereon they are laden hath receyved any considerable number of these baggs"<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.22r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.22r]]</ref>

"one hundred baggs being steeved in a shipp of 280 tonnes, one hundred and seventy baggs more cannot be receyved aboard by forty four men and be steeved afterwards, nor can be receyved on board in six eight or ten dayes, the reason whereof is because there is not in a vessell of that tonnage, sufficient stowage for so vast a bulke of woolls without steeving".<red>[[HCA 13/71 f.22v Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.22v]]</ref>

"It is usuall in the steeving of woolls first to lay a tier of baggs, and then to steeve in as many more as are layd in the Tier. And he likewise saith that It is the usuall custome to prevent losse of tyme and for keeping the men busyed in steeving to have a sufficient number of baggs allways ready on the dockes yet in such a proportion that the worke be not impeded. In which respect, it is usuall to have about ffifteene baggs allwayes in readines, and to supply them by fetching more from the shoare as the steeving worke goes forward and not otherwise".<red>[[HCA 13/71 f.22v Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.22v]]</ref>

'''April 1659'''

Thomas Newman, a forty-three year old merchamt of Mile End in Stepney, deposed on April 16th 1659 in teh High Court of Admiralty. He had been super cargo on the ship the ''Bantam ffrigot'' (Master: Isaac Taylor).<ref>[[HCA 13/73 f.272v Annotate|HCA 13/73 f.272v]]</ref>
