Bridport (UK Parliament Constituency)
Bridport was a parliamentary borough in Dorset, England, which elected two Members of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons from 1295 until 1868, and then one member from 1868 until 1885, when the borough was abolished. History Bridport was continuously represented in Parliament from the first. The medieval borough consisted of the parish of Bridport, a small port and market town, where the main economic interests were sailcloth and rope-making, as well as some fishing. (For some time in the 16th century, the town had a monopoly of making all cordage for the navy.) By 1831, the population of the borough was 4,242, and the town contained 678 houses.

This was a relatively liberal franchise for the period but nevertheless meant that only a fraction of the townsmen could vot ...

John Hoar (pirate)
John Hoar (died 1697, last name occasionally Hoare or Hore) was a pirate and privateer active in the late 1690s in the Red Sea area. History Hoar and his frigate ''Dublin'' had been granted a privateering commission from Governor Sir William Beeston of Jamaica, and near Canada had taken a 200-ton, 14-gun French prize called ''St. Paul''. In January 1694 he convinced the Rhode Island General Assembly to convene an Admiralty Court and award him the prize so he could swap vessels, renaming the ship ''John and Rebecca''. He then purchased a second privateering commission from Governor Benjamin Fletcher of New York. Fletcher later claimed no knowledge of Hoar's piracy, despite having previously granted a commission to Hoar's own brother-in-law Richard Glover, also a privateer-turned-pirate. The ''John and Rebecca'' sailed for the Cape of Good Hope and the Persian Gulf in December 1695. It was during this voyage that Abraham Samuel was elected ship's quartermaster. After some navig ...
