The Martin
In the April 1665 fleet list is 6th rate with 65 men and 14 guns under Captain Bennett.
Sailed with Sandwich to the Med in 1661 and seems to have been used as a messenger ship between the fleet in Algiers, Tangier, Lisbon and Cadiz etc.

Sandwich's log of October 5, 1661 records that Capt. [EDWARD?] Rolt was with him in the Martin on the Tangier/Lisbon cruise.
With such an unusual last name, and given that Edward came from Brampton, I think we can assume that we have the right man.
