Transcriber’s notes:

Port Books for the combined ports of Appledore, Bideford and Barnstaple are housed in the National Archives from 1565 to 1745. There are some gaps due to non-survival of records, and other gaps due to damaged documents.

Typically these books record:
•    Date of entry
•    Name of ship
•    Tonnage of vessel
•    Port where vessel is registered
•    Port where vessel is going to, or coming from
•    Name of the Captain or Master of the vessel
•    Name of the merchant responsible for the goods
•    Whether the merchant is English or foreign
•    Description of the cargo, including the method of storage (barrels, casks, bags), the weight (hundredweights, pounds) and the value for the purposes of assessing tax to be paid.

Only taxable goods were recorded. Untaxed goods (e.g. fish) were not taxed and therefore not generally recorded.

The following officials were responsible for checking the cargoes and recording the tax due:
•    Collector or ‘Customer’ – made a return of all goods exported or imported and all moneys received, for which he issued a cocket (receipt).
•    Controller – made a similar return but did not receive the payments.
•    Searcher – appointed to prevent fraud, who had to make examine the goods and return a warrant to show he had done so.
•    Surveyor - appointed to check the work of the Searcher.

The five books for 1570 contain about 36 pages in total, all written in Latin.

Details of the cargoes have been transcribed as fully as possible.

Some commodities are unknown but have been transcribed as closely as possible. Others may not be so well-known to us today, so here are some definitions:
•    Acquavita - Distilled wine, eg: Brandy.
•    Baise – A coarse woollen cloth, often made in Barnstaple.
•    Bay salt - Salt derived by evaporating seawater in the sun.
•    Bridgwaters - Presumably a cloth from Bridgwater, or in the Bridgwater style.
•    Dicker / Dicars - A quantity or package of 10 hides.
•    Fardels - A single piece, pack or bundle.
•    Firkin - 18 gallons, a quarter of a barrel.
•    Frieze - A coarse woollen, plain weave cloth with a nap on one side.
•    Hatwool - a type of wool, maybe Spanish?
•    Kersey - Coarse narrow woollen cloth with a smooth back, made of long staple wool, derived from the village of Kersey in Suffolk.
•    Kintall - Another term for hundredweight. 100 lbs, also 112 lbs.
•    Magnarum unarum passarum - Unknown, probably a type of broadcloth.
•    Pastells from Surris - Woad (from islands of Surris - Azores).
•    Peniston - A coarse woollen cloth formerly used to make clothes.
•    Pipe - 126 gallons (4 barrels). A cask for wine and other goods.
•    Sack - Fortified wine imported from mainland Spain or the Canary Islands.
•    Traine oil – Drained fish oil, usually from cod.
•    Wey - Unit of weight for dry goods. Size depends on commodity, but could be around 175 lbs. Can also be a unit of volume about 320 gallons.

Similarly, some ports may not be spelt or understood as we expect today:
•    Abrytewe = Abertawe (Swansea)
•    Henibon = Hennebont, France
•    Insulas Surris = Azores
•    Lusbone = Lisbon
•    Rochell = La Rochelle, France
•    St John de Luice = Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France
•    Surreis = probably meant to be Terreras?
•    Terreras = unclear, might be Terciera, Azores
•    Wessant = Ushant?
