A 1533 letter from Roger Pele, Abbot of Furness, to Thomas Cromwell reporting the arrival of a Scottish vessel with cargo at Ramsey, Isle of Man. The letter describes the crew's attempt to land provisions and a Scottish pilot's boast about his navigation skills in northern waters. The Abbot is holding the Scottish mariner in custody pending the King's instructions. The document provides evidence of early 16th-century maritime activity, smuggling concerns, and royal security interests in the Isle of Man.
