The Delavall may be the same ship which was wrecked at Pill in 1716. She was salved by the Corporation at a cost of £114, and as her owner could not be found, was sold to John Hobbs for £58. In 1730, after she had made twenty-eight voyages for Hobbs, a man named Martin, who claimed to be “the original owner, commenced an action for the recovery of the ship and the entire profits made since her sale. In this he was defeated, and Hobbs was voted £50 by the Corporation for his expenses.
