Pirates and maritime news from the Baltic to Greenland
A colonial and commercial maritime summary notes the Mary Surtees taken and ransomed for 2001, ships returning from Greenland with fish, Holland whales, and a Danish ship loss. It reports stock moves in London, court appointments, marriages, deaths, and local racing results. Weather, piers at Blackfriars, and a Preston guild fair are also mentioned.
