Source notes
Italic type as in printed source. First brackets IRHB's, second as in printed source. One half fraction has horizontal stroke in printed source. The inventories were compiled by or on behalf of William Soper, Keeper of the King's Ships.[2]
The editor provides glosses for most of the technical terms occurring in the passage:
Bakstay] A "[s]tanding rigging leading aft"[3]
Takkes] Ropes for confining the "foremost lower corner of a course in a fixed position when the wind crosses the ship's course obliquely, leading forward"[4]
Hauncer] Also 'hawser', large rope or, more properly, middle sized cable.[5]
Boyrope] Rope with which a buoy was attached to an anchor.[6]
Sondynglyn] A sounding-line.[7]
IRHB comments
Susan Rose's translation. The editor of the inventories dates them 1422–27,[8] but since a reference to letters patent dated 5 March 1423 occurs in the preamble to the inventories,[9] I date them 1423–27. At least during the period in question, the home port of the Petit John was Southampton. For discussion see Petit John (Southampton).
