Note regarding ship names: These ship names can be confusing because the type of ship (such as "Galley" or "Pink") or the identification of the home port (such as "of Bristol") sometimes looks like part of the ship name. Ship types that Strassburger (page xxxii) identified in the Philadelphia records are snow, brigantine, brig, pink, galley, and billender or billinder.
