Rude 18th Century Port News From War and Court
A chaotic Yorke era dispatch reports a man hanged for unknown cause, naval mutterings about a 26 ship fleet under Sir Chaloner Ogle sail from St. Helen's, and court proceedings at Guildhall reelecting Humphry Parsons as Lord Mayor. Obituaries for John Sawkins and Charles Du Bois are noted, plus shipping and privateer actions near Portobelo, Carthagena, and Gibraltar with Don Apolanko and Von Blass figures.
