Murder plot on Dove ship sparks capture at Leghorn
The Dove, Benjamin Hawes master, was used in a plot to kill the captain and seize the ship and cargo. Eight crew were seized aboard the English vessel, with three deserters from a Spanish ship among them. The Spaniards seized some of the murderers later, and Florence ordered an examination of the captain’s corpse. The English protest this interference.
