1637 CE
John Weddell, having served as a sea captain for both the Muscovy Company and the East India Company, had early in 1636 been given command of six ships sent by the interloper Sir William Courten, who had received a patent from the king in December 1635 to trade in the East Indies.
After failing to establish trade in Canton owing to Portuguese intrigues, he returns to India, where he succeeds in establishing a trade at Rajapur.
