Description
This calendar of the High Court of Admiralty examinations makes available a wide body of material, much of which was previously unknown or inaccessible to students of Irish history.
This material covers a broad range of subjects including trade, shipping, fishing, piracy and privateering. It also sheds light on the commercial interest of Irish merchants, and on the activities of Dutch and English merchants in Ireland during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. As such it will be an invaluable resource for students of maritime history and those with interests in related economic, social or colonial themes.
