Abstract:
This biographical essay looks at the life and turbulent career of colonial figure Captain James Wimble, who lived in Sussex, the West Indies, Boston, and North Carolina. Wimble worked as a mariner, trader, distiller, landowner, colonizer, map maker, and privateer. His careers and experiences were heavily marked by the public relationships between England and America, the American mainland and the West Indies, older New England and young North Carolina, and especially between England and Spain.
