Captured ship: St John Baptist of Ostend (master Joseph Regnard of Ostend, otherwise Joost Reinar).
History: A Flemish (Spanish Netherlands) merchant ship (ketch, 70 tons, 9 men, built in England, bought at Middelburg about 9 weeks earlier), bound from Ostend to Leith or Berwick, in ballast; taken on 9/19 October 1673 on the Lowestoft fishing grounds by HMS Portsmouth pink (Thomas Binning or Bynning commanding) and brought into Great Yarmouth.
Court papers: Allegation and claim [of Knowles and Hamlbleton], 10 November 1673.
The master Joas Reignard, and Stephen Linch (otherwise Lynch), Francis Knowles and Thomas Hambleton. Stephen Lynch, subject of England then resident at Ostend, had Patrick Creagh of Middelburg buy the ship, formerly named William and Edward, at Flushing in early September 1673. She was renamed St John Baptist. Soon afterwards Lynch sold 3/8 share to Francis Knowles and partners, subjects of England, and 1/4 to Thomas Hambleton.
