Abstract The early eighteenth century is an important and interesting, though often overlooked, era in Whitby’s history. The little known case of members of two prominent Whitby families, Linskill and Yeoman, is used here to shed new light on the town and its maritime history in the first two decades of the century and shows that there is good evidence to reappraise these decades. The document is of importance as a local source for the period because it illustrates that the War of Spanish Succession or Queen Anne’s War had an impact on the townspeople, even though Whitby was far removed from the centre of operations.

安妮女王战争期间的惠特比港，1702–13 年

摘要 18 世纪早期是惠特比历史上一个重要而有趣但经常被忽视的时代。两个著名的惠特比家族成员林斯基尔和约曼的鲜为人知的案例在这里被用来揭示该镇及其在本世纪前二十年的航海历史，并表明有很好的证据来重新评估这几十年。该文件作为这一时期的当地资料来源非常重要，因为它表明西班牙王位继承战争或安妮女王战争对市民产生了影响，尽管惠特比远离行动中心。
