Talk:Simon Hatley

Dampier
"Robert Fowke's 2010 The Real Ancient Mariner suggests that Hatley did not sail with Dampier." "Suggests" is a bit of a loaded word. What exactly does the book say? Gordonofcartoon (talk) 03:42, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know. I'm presently away but am planning to buy the book when I get home.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:57, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Fowke writes that Hatley's first privateering voyage "was that of the Duke and Duchess which sailed from Bristol in 1708 ... Hatley, then a young man, was third mate of the Duchess." Dampier was ship's pilot, or sailing master, aboard the Duke under Captain Woodes Rogers. Hatley sailed with Dampier, according to Fowke, but not Captain Dampier, and not in 1703 or 1705. — Dr.Gulliver (talk) 07:01, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
