Capture history: a Dutch merchant ship (140-[160] tons, [10] guns, [15] men, built at Zaandam for owners), bound from several places 'between the Capes' on the coast of Guinea, West Africa (trading with the indigenous peoples over the course of 7 months) to Amsterdam, laden with 518 elephants' teeth [ivory], also 2-3 pounds of gold, which, along with some papers, the master took ashore at Newhaven; the ship was seized in Dover on 21/31 July 1672. [From HCA 32/1946/2].
Document: Allegation, 7 August 1672 (5pp). A detailed account of the master coming ashore about 10am on 20 July 1672 (at Seaford, in this version of events), in a boat with a crewman, carrying a travelling bag containing Guinea gold and went to the house there of John Swaine. They hired horses, but were challenged by the customs officer William Halstead, who seized the bag and gold at 11 am, and took them to Newhaven.
