In the ship's log entry for 30 Aug 1785 (IOR/L/MAR/B/172H-I) the port visited was Pring and not Penang (as erroneously noted by the British Library archive record summary). The port of Penang was only founded in 1786. Pring was a small pepper port south of Beencolen, "30 miles from Buffalo Point". Buffalo Point (Poolo Point) was south of Fort Malborough.
