Resident in 1656 in Redriff in Surrey
Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Forty-two year old Robert Lunn deposed on March 22nd 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty.[1] He was examined on an allegation on behalf of Captaine Ellison in "A Busines of examination of witnesses touching certayne stormes which happened to the shipp called the Susan and Anne of which George Boys is commander in her late voyage from the Barbathoes to this Port of London promoted by Captaine Edward Ellison owner of the sayd shipp against George Pa[?t]hfeild, Marke Mortimer and Mathew Goodfellow and others the freighters of the sayd shipp."[2]
Robert Lunn described a dreadful homeward journey in the Susan and Anne from Barbados to London. Twelve days after departing Barbados they met "with a furious hurricano, which continued in very great extremity for about five or six and thirty howres, so as the sayd Master and Company of the sayd shipp were enforced and did for the preservation of the sayd shipp and lading and their owne lives, cutt downe their mainmast. and the foremast hee saith was carryed away by the violence of the storme. and so much water came in betwixt deckes that the weight thereof did endanger the oversetting of the sayd shipp for preservation whereof a hole was of necessity to be cutt to lett the sayd water into the hold that the pumps might worke".[3]
