Individual Cornelius Chute (Cornilis Chewt)
A shipping record from the London Port Book, 1567-1568, entries 600-699, covering the period of June-Aug 1568. This is entry 651, dated 14 July 1568:
"Egle" of Middelburg (30) Cornilis Chewt, Middelburg (f.200b] John Valyam; 18 tuns French wine net 15 1/2 tuns 50s."
An encyclopedia note on Middelburg (in the Netherlands) says, "The city of Middelburg (population: about 38,000) dates back to the early 9th century or possibly the late 8th century. The first mention of Middelburg was as one of three defensive points erected on the island of Walcheren to guard against Viking raids. In 844 an abbey was built there, which remained in use until the Eighty Years' War, when the northern Netherlands won their independence from Spain. Today, the abbey is used both as a museum and as the seat of the provincial government. Middelburg was granted city rights in 1217.
In Medieval times, the city was an important trade centre, with goods coming from the cities of Flanders being shipped to England and vice versa."
I'm not sure yet if Cornelius lived in Middelburg and belonged to a shipping family, which struck me as rather interesting, or lived in England, and the ship was returning from Middelburg - or, given his cargo (18 tons of French wine), possibly France. I'm also not sure which one of the two men named in this record was the owner and which one was the captain.
