Biographical synthesis

Thomas Bull (b. ca. 1629; d. ?). Mariner.

Gunner of the coal ship the Warewell (Master: Robert Clarke).

Resident in 1659 in Wapping.

Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

Thirty year old Thomas Bull deposed on February 4th 1659 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on a libel in the cause of "Clarke against Scattergood".[1]

Thomas Bull went gunner of the Warewell on the voyage which resulted in September 1658 in her bilging on an anchor a little below Wapping dock. After the bilging, Thomas Bull was "one that helped to pumpe the said ship after her bilging aforesaid, and alsoe helped to heave out the said coales out of her". Her master, Robert Clarke "for the preservation and securing of her, did cause his company, and some other men that he hired, imediately to heave her coales out of her portholes into lighters, which coales were very wet, and much damnified". In all they heaved some ninety chauldron of coals into lighters gathered by the ship, which greatly lightened the svessel and reduced the damage that could have happened.[2]
