Andrew says of George Dakins...

Andrew says that George Dakins had replaced Charles Thorowgood as captain of the Worcester, and fought bravely at the Battles of Dungeness (December 1652) and Portland (February 1653). At the Restoration, George Dakins was dismissed from the navy because he was "an irreconcilable Anabaptist". Andrew says that he then commanded a merchant ship that traded with the Mediterranean area.
