- Abstract:
- Abstract : A midnight encounter in the English Channel, just off Calais, on the night of 22/23 December 1684 caused the sinking of the ' Francis ' mail‐laden Pacquet‐boat headed to Dover after a collision with a 70t Dutch ship heading home to Zealand and driven by tempestuous northerly winds. Weather conditions surrounding the incident are reconstructed from contemporary diarists such as John Gadbury, Robert Boyle, Elias Ashmole (all in London), Robert Plot (Oxford), and Sir John Wittewronge (Rothamstead).
