Ships and storms mix with royal arts and law notes
Capt Vernon of the Cork Galley reports a Spanish 24 gun cruiser capturing the Dutch ship America, with logwood from Honduras aboard. The period details wrecks near Hamburg and Holland, grand Paris palace drawings and tapestry of the four elements, a Paris manufactory of wool and silk, and social and legal notes from Old Bailey to Crown offices.
