Biographical synthesis

Isacke Maior (b. ca. 1632; d. ?). Shipwright.

Resident in 1656 in Horsey downe in the county of Surrey.

Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

Twenty-four year old Isacke Maior deposed on March 4th 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on a libel in the case of "Mayor and the William and ffrance and against Knight.[1]

Isacke Maior stated that the lighter lay in the river Thames and "was and stoode in greate neede of reparation". Her lighter man brought her in November 1654 to the wharf of John Major at Horsey downe to be repaired. John Maior had repaired the same lighter several times before. When John Major "the said producent had begun to search and try her defects, hee found her soe much out of repaire and soe rotten, that hee refused to proceede on in her repaire till hee spake with mr Coltman who recommended the said worke unto him." Mr Coltman thereupon came to John Major's wharf with Mr Dandy the wharfinger of the Customhouse, and after viewing the lighter and its defects, requested the work to go ahead.[2]

Isacke Maior himself was employed by John Major to work on the lighter. "Hee did 23 dayes worke at the said lighter, which at 3 s per diem comes to 3li 9s, which is paid him by the producent, who imployed him."[3]
