You may find something useful about the 1707 disaster in Scilly in the following book, 'Admiral Shovell's Treasure & Shipwreck in the I(sles of Scilly', by Peter McBride & Richard Larn.1999. ISBN 0-9523971-3-7 and 0-9523971-2-9, copies of which are available from me: richardlarn@tiscali.co.uk
I live in the Isles of Scilly, initiated the Royal Navy diving team which found the wreck in 1967, and am currently editing a booklet for the Island's Tri-Centenary (1707-2007) commemoration events next year. We desperately need to find any descendents with whom we can communicate. Richard Larn 29/12/06
