Description

Captured ship: King David of Stockholm (master Lambert Jacobson Kickerd of Amsterdam and Stockholm, otherwise Lambert Kickert).

History: a Swedish merchant ship (140 tons, built at Stettin, rebuilt at Amsterdam), bound from Bordeaux to Hamburg, laden with prunes and walnut planks; taken on 15/25 or 16/26 July 1673 in the Downs, after being forced in there to make repairs by very bad weather and leaks, by HMS Hunter (George Colt commanding); for want of a pilot, the ship was driven ashore near Ramsgate and stranded. Later brought into Portsmouth.

The master had been six weeks a prisoner of war at Chelsea College in the last war.

Court Papers, numbered CP 1-3:-

  • [CP 1]: five examinations taken at Portsmouth, 28 October 1673;
