'Anto. Roberts, mariner [master of the ENDEAVOUR of Truro, cast away off Margate with the Queen's tin on board: my Lord reads the] rep[ort from the Principal] Officers of the Mint [on his petition]. My Lord can give no direction in this.' [May 21, Treasury Board Papers XVII, 68.] (1)

NB: The reference to "the Queen's tin" indicates its origin in one of the Stannary towns of Cornwall. It would have been destined for the Mint in London, as appears to be confirmed by the involvement of the officers of the Mint, and the place of loss, en route to London. (2)

Master: Antony Roberts (1)

Date of Loss Qualifier: Reporting date of loss
