The Hampshire
Vincente, "then commissioned for East Indies 29 March 1661"
"Then to the office, where I found Sir W. Pen sent down yesterday to Chatham to get two great ships in readiness presently to go to the East Indies upon some design against the Dutch, we think, at Goa but it is a great secret yet."
"and hither came letters from above for the fitting of two other ships for the East Indies in all haste, and so we got orders presently for the Hampshire and Nonsuch."
On 3rd April Sam says "Dutch have sent the King a great present of money, which we think will stop the match with Portugal; and judge this to be the reason that our so great haste in sending the two ships to the East Indys is also stayed."
From British Foreign Policy 1660-1672 (Feiling) it seems that Fanshawe was to arrange the surrender of Bombay to the English fleet and ask that Bassein should go with it, to press for the implementation of facilities to our factories in India and suggest that Goa should be given to England to save it from the Dutch.
From the Journal of Montagu (Anderson) the following information can be gleaned...
On the 14th of May 1660 she came into Scevelinge with Commissioners of the Commons House of Parliament, before the King sails back to England.
She is also with Sandwich (along with the Nonsuch) on his mission to Tangier, and appears in Algier Bay on the 13th August 1661. Sandwich had left London on the 13th of June 1661. On the 8th January 1662 the Hampshire sails back to England with a package for HR, Co an LS.
In the fleet list of April 1665 it is shown as 4th rate with 160 men and 40 guns under George Batts.
