English Captain: Lewis (Lodwick) Dick

Lewis (or Lodwick) Dick served in the Parliamentarian and Commonwealth navies, holding one appointment in each. In 1644, he commanded the hired merchantman Golden Lion (30 guns, a crew of 135 men, and of 450 tons). He was assigned to the Summer Guard for 1644. From 1653 to 1654, he again commanded the Golden Lion. Perhaps he was her merchant captain. Sources:
