IT is to be noted, that the Tide runs to the Falls of Dela∣vvare, it being one hundred and fifty Miles from the Capes, or entrance of the said River (which Falls, is a ledge of Rocks lying a cross the River) and also it runs up in some of the Cricks, ten or fifteen Miles, the said River and Cricks, being navigable for Ships of great Burthen, there having lain over against Burlington, a Ship of about the burthen of four hundred Tims afloat in four Fathom, at dead low Water, and the Flood riseth six or eight Foot; and there be∣ing no Worm that eats the bottoms of the Ships, as is usually done in Virginia and Barbadoes, &c. which renders the said Countries very fit for Trade and Navigation: And in the said River and Cricks are many other sorts of good Fish, not already named, some of which are Cat-fish, Trout; Eales, Pearch, &c.
