'The GRETSEYL, Jonker, from London to Embden, is on shore at Burnham, Essex. Cargo will be saved.' <1>
The place of loss may have been Burnham in Norfolk, not Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex; the entry for this vessel thus appears in Norfolk (CC). <2>
The more conventional spelling of GREETSIEL has been included as an alternative form of the name.
