==Biographical synthesis==
Thomas Harris (b. ca. 1595; d. ?). Mariner.

Master and half owner of the ship the ''Sea fflower''.

Resident in 1653 in the Isle of Wight.

==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Fifty-eight year old Thomas Harris deposed on November 7th 1653 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation on behalf of Colonel Pride in "The clayme of Colonell Pridgesor for beefe and porke in the ''Sea fflower''".<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.312r Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.312r]]</ref>

The case concerned a lading of beef and pork put on board the ship the ''Sea fflower'' by John Snow at Bristol on May 1st 1653 to be transported to Portsmouth. The meat was to be used to victual the navy. However, en route for Portsmouth, the ''Sea fflower'' was seized by the Dutch and carried to Saint Mallo. John Harris could not detail the merhcnat's marks used on the goods "by reason the bills of ladeing and all other his this deponents papers on board were taken from him by a dutch man of warr".<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.312r Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.312r]]</ref> The meat was bought on behalf of Colonel Pride and the other navy victuallers.

Thomas Harris and his crew were turned out of their ship, but she was subsequently retaken by the ''Saphir''. Harris subsequently found his ship again in October 1653 at Plymouth.<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.312v Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.312v]]</ref>
