Edmund Dummer was appointed Surveyor to the Navy at Portsmouth, Hampshire, he
was officer in charge of dockyard stores and ship maintenance. In 1698 he
initiated a plan to survey harbours on the south coast, at a time when war with
France, and possible invasion, was a real threat. The survey was allowed only 2
months for 18 harbours, and involved Captain Thomas Wilshaw of the navy and
Captains Conaway and Cruft of Trinity House. Given this short time the surveying
was understandably sketchy. Nine copies of the report were made; 3 are known in
the British Museum - Sloane MS3233, 3 in the National Maritime Museum, 1 in the
Royal Geographical Society, the HMCMS copy is one of the remaining 2 (Where is
the ninth?). |
|
There is a separate plan of Portsmouth and Southampton Water made by Edmund
Dummer, 1698, not included in this survey, now in the British Museum, King's MS
43 fol.89. |
