==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Twenty-five year old Thomas Bryan deposed on October 22nd 1655 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation on behalf of Tobye Severne William Wood and others in the case of "Tobie Severne William Wood and others mariners of the ''Hopefull Adventure'' whereof Richard Husbands was master against the sayd shipp the ''Hopefull Adventure'' and against Alexander Bence William Allen and others owners of the sayd shipp and alsoe against the sayd Richard Husbands."<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.492r Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.492r]]</ref>

Thomas Bryan was cooper of the ship the ''Charles'' of London, a ship which rode in Yorke river in Virginia near the ''Hopefull Adventure''. Bryan testified to watching the company of the ''Hopefull Adventure'' pumping their ship the day before she sprang a leak and then after she received five foot of water in her hold. Tobye Severne and William Wood procured a number of the company of the ''Charles'' to assist them pumping out the hold, Thomas Bryan being one of these men. The carpenter and carpenter's mate of the ''Charles'' were also called upon to help in the search for the source of the leak. Bryan reports that at last they found the leake "to be about the rouge heads of the sayd shipp about five foote and better underwater, and that it was an old trumell hole which was rotted and in which there was much duite and grasse and weedes which had gathered and bredd therein."<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.494r Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.494r]]</ref>

Though only twenty-five years of age, Thomas Bryan stated "hee hath gone to sea these twelve yeares last past."<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.494v Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.494v]]</ref>
