The new Invention FOR THE SHEATHING of SHIPS WITH Lead and Lacker , Without the use of Pitch , Tar , Rozin , Brimstone , or any other Graving ,

HAth been Experimented upon several of the King's Ships , with such Success and Approbation , that His Majesty , and the Lords of the Admiralty , have given express Order to the Commissioners and Principal Officers of the Navy , That all their Ships for the future shall be Sheathed no otherwise , but by the way of this New Invention . The Phoenix was the first , which was done March 10. 1670. and after several Voyages was lately ordered into the Dock at Woolwich , supposing her Sheathing might want some Repair , but upon view of the Master-Builder and others , it was found to be in as good condition as at first doing : Whereupon she was turned out of the Dock the next day ; and the Captain , Master , and other Officers averred , she was so tight during the whole Time , that they were forced to heave in water to keep her sweet . The Dreadnought , done in June , 1671. the Henrietta , Lion , and Mary , done in October , 1672. which being lately laid on ground at Sheerness and Portsmouth have all their Sheathings found to be in as good condition as at first , as the Master-Builder and Assistant at Portsmouth , &c. have certified . Others have been also done , no doubt , with as good success ; but not being yet viewed , are not here mentioned .

The Bread-Rooms also of some of these , and many more of His Majefty's Ships have been lined within , almost in the same manner the Sheathing is without , which has proved of great preservation to the Bread , as several of the Pursers and Officers of the said Ships have certifi'd , and must needs , by reason of its duration , be much cheaper and better then Tynn , which is so liable to rust .

The Lead also is made so close pressed , smooth , and equal in all parts , and of what thickness or thinness desired , that great use may be made thereof , in many other things relating to Shipping , &c.

All Merchants and others , who desire to have their Ships accommodated with this way of Sheathing , if they please to repair to the Persons employed by the Parties concerned in the management of this , viz. to Mr. Thomas Rastel , at the Jerkers Office in the Custome-house , or to the said Mr. Rastel or Mr. Francis Dracot , at Mr. Garraway's Coffee-house , every Tuesday and Thursday , from 11 to 12 a clock , and afterwards in the West-India Walk upon the Exchange ; they may receive satisfaction , that this way of Sheathing is as cheap as the other , much more durable , and in many respects more beneficial to the Owners , both in point of Charge , and advantage in Sailing .
