Transcriber’s notes:

Port Books for the 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.

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 books for 1745 contain about 28 pages, written in English.

Details of the cargoes have been transcribed as fully as possible.
Further information on value and taxation are available in the original document.

Some commodities and units of measurement used in these documents may not be obvious, so here are some definitions:
•    Baies (Baize) - Coarse woollen cloth, often made in Barnstaple.
•    Buckram - Stiff cotton or linen cloth with a plain, loose weave.
•    Coquette (Cocket) - A document issued by Customs Officials certifying payment of duties.
•    Ell - Measure of length of textiles (equivalent to six hand breadths), about 45 inches.
•    Hides in the hair – Animal skin that has not been tanned or dressed.
•    Kersey - Coarse woollen cloth with a smooth back, derived from the village of Kersey in Suffolk.
•    Maund - A large square basket or hamper, sometimes with a hinged lid in two parts.
•    Musco [Muscavadoes] - Unrefined brown sugar.
•    Penistone - A coarse woollen cloth formerly used to make clothes.
•    Rugg – A coarse frieze, a frieze cloak or mantle. Originally imported from Ireland, sometimes called 'Waterford rugg'.
•    Sufferance - A bonded sufferance warehouse is where goods are temporarily stored awaiting clearance by Customs or were used to defer paying Customs duty.
•    Train [oil] – Drained fish oil, usually from cod.
•    Winchester - Denotes the legal standard for bushels and chalders.
•    Winton - An old name for Winchester.
