In this new article, our colleague Gustav Ängeby (Stockholm University) from the Scandinavian Prize Papers Project explains how he found the Anne Marie packages last year and what they mean for his research. It's well worth a read!

A great team effort, a wonderful, moving event with our guests from the Faroe Islands and one of the most amazing finds ever discovered in the Prize Papers. Check out our thread about this amazing collection.

In 1807, the ship Anne Marie was captured by the British Navy while sailing from the Faroe Islands to Denmark. Five packages and two hundred letters were confiscated from the ship and survived, still sealed, in the Prize Papers. What’s inside? Read below to find out. /1

Neuron HIIT this AM: transcribing a letter by the same Dutch person of yesterday, now in their 1664 take on FRENCH rather than English. Quite impressed by their versatility, but what do I know. Happy that Lingua Franca had replaced Latin by then, though, phew. 😅 #prizepapers #prizepapersopera

The ship papers of the Prize Papers Collection housed in the National Archives are valuable sources for tracing the capture history during the European expansion. This example includes delicate drawings of a topsail schooner.
