	Peter Pett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This was the Peter Pett who had been introduced in his youth to King Charles I of England in 1634 and who was ordered to construct a new ship of 500 tons, to be named the 'Leopard'.

		Three other Petts named Phineas were at the same time in the Naval Service at Chatham or in the Thames, one of whom was killed in action in 1666 whilst in command of the 'Tiger', this being a brother of the 2nd Commissioner at Chatham.

	Men of Invention and Industry by Samuel Smiles
		Pett's poem was dedicated to the Lord High Admiral, Howard, Earl of Nottingham; and this may possibly have been the reason of the singular interest which he afterwards took in Phineas Pett, the poet shipwright's son.
		Phineas wished to follow the progress of the Triumph, but finding his brother Joseph unwilling to retain him in his employment, he followed Baker to Deptford, and continued to work at the Repulse until she was finished, launched, and set sail on her voyage, at the end of April, 1596.
		In 1620, Pett's friend Sir Robert Mansell was appointed General of the Fleet destined to chastise the Algerine pirates, who still continued their depredations on the shipping in the Channel, and the King thereupon commissioned Pett to build with all dispatch two pinnaces, of 120 and 80 tons respectively.

		James Baker had been appointed first Master Shipwright of King Henry VIII from 1537 and had been responsible for many of the designs and the construction of Henry's fleet, so Mathew, who was known to dislike his rival Phineas Pett, competed to become the chief engineer of Elizabeth I's navy.
		His success was achieved when he became the first known shipwright to evolve the process of 'laying down the lines' for a ship, not as was traditional at the site of construction, but on paper, so that scale models were no longer the only means of understanding the secret lore of the shipwright.
		Peter Pett and Mathew Baker were both at Deptford when a new design of oceanic type of warship was launched in 1575.

	Mathew Baker
		Phineas Pett was something of a free radical amongst the established Master Shipwrights who appear to have seen him as a dangerous upstart, they made several attempts to thwart his advancement, but failed in the long run to deter him.
		Phineas Pett was to become the subject of an enquiry that became so serious that King James was forced to intervene, taking the matter personally in hand, in the light of stern criticism against Pett whilst he was out of the Country in 1621, from members of the Navy Commission, led by Burrell.
		He had in fact introduced modifications into the methods followed by Baker and the older shipwrights, such as his adjustments of the width of the floor and the shape of the bows.
