It is only known that Dame Barnett served here in 1805. From all accounts the environment was a blustery one.

Since Barry Smith's research above, I have come across the following advert which predates the above information by 37 years, so obviously, not as blustery as Barry imagined. Assuming, of course the two are the same pub. I would also assume that the pub was in good walking distance of the harbour.

Again, further research has given me an address at last or thereabouts; it says the house was situated near the Pier in Dover. I assume that to be the Pier District. The information also predates the house to as early as 1763.

 

From the Kentish Post, July 6-9, 1763. Kindly sent from Alec Hasenson.

Notice:- Thomas Harnett, late of Folkestone, has taken the house known by the sign of the "Dover Privateer," situated near the Pier in Dover, and late in the occupation of Elizabeth Marsh.

 

From the Kentish Gazette, Wednesday, June 15 to Saturday, June 18, 1768. Kindly sent from Alec Hasenson.
