The final records of the database of smuggling prosecutions in 1720s Britain are now uploaded in the Dark Markets Observatory. Discover who was smuggling, what happened to them, and sometimes why - criminal gangs, international networks, the wild world of #18thc #smuggling#history#earlymod
Fascinating. I enjoyed Index 1915, which if i'm reading right suggests the Prison Warden was prosecuted for allowing his Turnkey (Prison Officer?) running Goods by letting a prisoner escape several times and return freely?
Fab thanks. I'm looking forward to a closer look at all those Kent coast results.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing.
