Abstract & context


A Captain John Privett commanded the London 1667-1672 on several trips to Bantam and Surat. He kept a journal, which exists in manuscript form of a voyage from England to Bantam in the London.[1] The same Captain may have died commanding the Assistance, retaking St Helena from the Dutch ca. 1674.[2] He was involved commercially with William Williams, who appears to have been both Captain, citizen and merchant taylor, with a house in Aldgate.

However, it is not certain that the above Captain John Privett is the same person as the writer of the letter below to Sir George Oxenden.
