The SAMPSON is badly damaged by a storm, and only 11 ships of the fleet of 26 that left Barbados arrive back in England, the rest being lost. The men aboard the SAMPSON are all pressed at Gravesend.
A fleet of 26 ships leaves Barbados for home. The SAMPSON sustains great damage in a hurricane and is driven by the wind and the sea. They encounter wreckage - broken parts of decorated cabins - which proves to be from the MEDENA which was lost. The bad weather continues and only 11 ships of the fleet arrive back in England. At Gravesend all the men on the SAMPSON are pressed.
