Cargoes could have been in tea, spices, sugar, silk, cloth and any other amount of other valuable goods. This all took place in the days when communication to and from the ships was impossible. Many ships were lost to storms and piracy, so only the ones that completed the journey made a profit for the owners and share holders and stock / cargo investors / owners and no one could be 100% sure that their investment 'their ship' would come in until it actually reached port. So to wait for your ship to come in was literally to wait for the investment you had made to arrive. f

The Debtors Prison 1701AD - 1705AD York Castle has a long history as a place where justice and punishment are dispensed. At the turn of the 18th century, its facilities were brought right up to date with a major new prison building, described by Daniel Defoe as ‘the most stately and complete of any in the kingdom, if not in Europe’. The prison was designed to be ‘an instigator of virtue’, a wholly new concept. It became known as the Debtors’ Prison after some of its inmates but it also housed some of Yorkshire’s most notorious criminals, such as Dick Turpin. The architect was possibly William Wakefield; a trained lawyer rather than a professional architect. A native of Yorkshire, Wakefield is known to have designed Duncombe Park and Gilling Castle. The finished building was a handsome example of English Baroque architecture; built to reflect county pride. It was also modern and functional, with separate areas for men and women. The debtors, people imprisoned because they owed money, were also housed in a different area to the other criminals. There is a tower which has a clock with a single hand, installed in 1716 by John Terry a York clockmaker. The prison institution expanded later in the same century when the Female Prison was built and again in the 19th century when a Victorian Prison was built on the site.

Stock is my own. Textures from picmonkey “The sleepy ambience of the castle seems to have made it difficult for at least one former resident to leave. Many visitors have heard the sound of plopping, and on turning have discovered ripples radiating outward across the glassy surface of the moat. Looking up, they see a ghostly sentry standing on the walls, lobbing “plum stones” into the otherwise peaceful water. Quite who he is, no one knows and since his spectral activity is undisruptive, witnesses are content to leave him to enjoy his harmless fun.” This ghost story was taken from the book "Haunted Castles of Britain and Ireland" by Richard Jones. You can find other stories by Mr. Jones on his web site, Haunted Britain, ( haunted-britain.com ) @wikipedia .......Baconsthorpe Castle lies north of the village. It was built by Sir John Heydon from 1450, and completed by his grandson, Sir Henry, in 1486. It's in a lovely setting, with a moat on three sides and a mere on the fourth. The main part of the castle was dismantled in the 17th century, when the family fell on hard times, and had to sell of parts of it as building material. But the outer gatehouse, known as Baconsthorpe Hall, was still inhabited until 1920. The castle is now looked after by English Heritage.
