 The Ship mentioned in Sir George Oxenden's correspondence and in legal documents relating to Tobell Aylmer and Elizabeth Dallison was most likely the Ship on the west side of the Old Bailey, just to the north of [[MRP: Ludgate Hill|Ludgate Hill]].  There were a number of other Ship taverns in London in the 1660s. They were located in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX.

 This tavern would have been close to Aylmer's house, the address of which Aylmer gave in the same letter as "The Corner or Old Corner, near Ludgate (and Old Bailey)."  A Chancery document confirms that Aylmer's house was near Ludgate.<ref>[[MRP: C 9/243/65 f. 1|C 9/243/65 f. 1]] 'The joynt and severall answeres of Alexander Emerson Esquier & Frances his wife two of the defts to the bill of complaynt of Elizabeth Dallyson widow complaynant'</ref>
