Lee, George, Sir, 1700-1758. Sir George Lee papers, 1689-1753; bulk 1742-1750.

Title: Sir George Lee papers, 1689-1753; bulk 1742-1750.

The collection contains papers of British naval cases from 1689-1753. The bulk of the material, however, is from 1742-1750 coinciding with Sir Lee's position as Lord of Admiralty. The papers comprise a collection of opinions and interpretations of maritime laws regarding the commercial rights of neutrals, seizure of vessels, confiscation of merchandise and prizes captured by privateers. The documents most frequently deal with search and seizure of British vessels. International events involving France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands are also documented. Of possible interest to researchers are frequent references to international trade. The strength of this collection lies with the details provided in the reports. Sir Lee documents specific naval cases listing the ship name and master and commander of each vessel in these reports. In addition these papers also yield information regarding the geographic location of the ship, cargo lost and ship and cargo owners. The collection maintains a weak assortment of reports, however, from before 1742 and after 1750. While some documents dated before Sir Lee's birth in 1700 are included one can only surmise Sir Lee himself collected these or previous owners of the collection, of which there is no record, gathered the material.
