Vast 1739 port notices mix copper, indigo, and ships
A long abstract from an 1739 Atlantic bulletin describes cargo lists including copper, indigo, tapestries, hides, drugs, and other goods, with trade and naval details. It notes wartime mobilization in Ireland and France, shipbuilding, recruitment, and a court pardon for Lord Santry, plus various intelligence from Dover, Florence, and Copenhagen. It mentions Admiral Vernon’s Western cruise, rumors of Dutch succession tensions, Beehive mandates in Florence, and a Galway murder trial notice.
