Welcome to Rootschat.
Headings for monetary amounts are quite standard over the centuries around this time and will be:
li - s - dli =
libra (pound) -
s =
solidos (shilling) -
d =
denarius (penny)
So, with
li being in the last column here, we know it's not money.
In this list the three columns primarily correspond to the provisions which come in barrels or casks (with the exceptions being the Twine, Anchors and Grapnells).
I think the three columns are possibly for weight.
However I'm not sure what the first two signify.
The first symbol is an
O, (based on
One punchion).
The other may be
ys or
qs?
I'm also sceptical that it is
p(ro)vis(ions). At this time a standard mark was used for contraction of the
pro letter sequence and it's not seen here.
I think this is
poiz, but I'm not sure what the meaning is.
These are just tentative thoughts.
A member here - Old Bristolian - has done a lot of work on ships' manifests, so with luck he or someone else will add proper knowledge.
ADDED:
French
avoir de pois = goods of weight.
See:
https://www.britannica.com/science/avoirdupois-weightThe
poiz only appears on entries which have the three columns (except for the butter, which only needs a pounds column).
Is it possibly just a shorthand for
weight?
