Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Thirty-six year old Edward Jarrett deposed on XX in the High Court of Admiralty.[1] He was examined on an allegation on the behalf of Trevorgyne in the case of "Peter Cole and others against Trevorgye".[2]
Edward Jarrett stated that he kept a journal when a gunner on the Trades Increase. He reported that the ship lay at Barbado, where she took on a cargo of sugar, and that she shipped very little water there - requiring just one pump to be operated every twenty-four hours. The ship set sail from Spike Bay on July 15th 1657 for England and was a strong ship with few leaks. On August 20th 1657 she experienced a "very violent storm" lasting three days and nights. Her seams opened and she took on much water. On September 1st 1657 just one hundred leagues from England she encountered a further violent tempest lasting four days.[3]
Edward Jarrett testified to having bin a seaman for twenty-four years and stated that in such seas a ship would always leak. He was of the opinion that the lading was damaged largely by water that came from above and not from below.[4]
