Prudent Hannah and Godolphin Plundered at Sea Violence
A brigantine named Prudent Hannah of Boston and the Godolphin of Topsham were seized on the same day by a Spanish guard coast vessel. The crew was sent aboard Captain Jones’s ship after plundering 36 slaves and gold dust along with other goods, with losses estimated above 159001. Sterling. News from Hague to London and Dublin details further chatter of a new Quadruple Alliance, local arrests, and ships docking at Dublin ports while public notices and advertisements fill the paper.
