Dear Madeleine,

This is an impressive list of ships. From the source where you got this
info, did you by any chance see any captain called Ottley?

I have read in V.L. Oliver's book on the History of Antigua, p. 376:
"1718, Jan. 10. Letter from the Governor read about pirates:--Mr. Tho.
[Thomas] Ottley of St. Kitts has offered his sloop. Volunteers are
called for, whom Maj'r Piggott will command. 45 s. per month pay to each
man." Is there any more info on this man and his sloop, and was there
listed a John Ottley who was proported to be a sailor from Jamaica.
