A detection Of the Shipwrights new Tricks in Combination wi●● Captain Ely against LEAD-SHEATHING Practis'd upon the Trumbal-Gally in Mr. Wells ' s Dock Aug. 31. MDC XCIX ●lso an Account of the Lead-sheathing upon the WEEDAW Together with a new Publication of the charge thereof At 12d a foot ONe would think the Shipwrigh● might be content with their profitable Trade of Building and necessary Reparation of Ships wh●ch wi● continually bring wealth and work enough to them let their Owners preserve them as well ●s they can and Sheath with Lead that will But 't is not the bare profit perhaps of Wood ●heathing that makes them so obstinate against Evident Truth tho' that be considerable also They who ●ive not by the Preservation but by the Damage and Decays of Plank and Shipping which the Worm and ●●●d-sheathing do various ways promote cannot be recon●●d to Lead-sheathng † Vide the Papers formerly published particularly the Certifica●e of the 6 Commanders that viewed the Antelope's Lead-sheathing in presence of the Navy-Board aftermentioned which 'tis fairly prov'd by Reason and Experience does much preserve them And there●● the Shipwrights in
