The Early seventeenth-century port books for Londonderry,
Coleraine, Carrickfergus and the Lecale ports are an underrated
source which have been underutilised by historians of the early
seventeenth century. As Robert Hunter himself highlighted, they can
be used to establish the character of the merchant class of the
emerging plantation towns and the incipient commercialisation which
was one of the characteristics of plantation. They can also be
used, as names are gradually identified, to indicate the
hinterlands of the Ulster ports, for example, Strabane merchants
trading through Derry.
