Anthony Dean (mayor)

Anthony Dean (mayor)

Sir Anthony Dean or Deane (ca 1638-1721) was a 17th century mayor of Harwich, shipbuilder and member of Parliament.

In 1673, as an alderman of Harwich, he funded the construction of a new gaol and guildhall in the town. [Coller, Duffield William (1861) [http://books.google.com/books?id=FdwMAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA2-PA579&lpg=RA2-PA579&dq=%22anthony+dean%22+harwich&source=web&ots=4zTaavzzFV&sig=P-0lfdNs4xYEvXkNjbJDCFtTchI "The People's History of Essex"] . Google Books. Retrieved 6 April 2008.] He was also an alderman of the City of London. [Carr, Cecil Thomas (ed.) (1970) [http://books.google.com/books?id=34-WXsbaBscC&pg=RA1-PA198&lpg=RA1-PA198&dq=%22anthony+dean%22+harwich&source=web&ots=LyrjmoHQdm&sig=t15hxKEss0tE6N5is2hShUNELP4 "Select Charters of Trading Companies, A.D. 1530-1707"] . Google Books. Retrieved 6 April 2008.] . He and his patron Samuel Pepys were the MPs for Harwich in Charles II's third parliament (which sat from March 6 1678 and formed part of the Cavalier Parliament). They were returned for the 1679 Parliament despite both being accused of leaking naval intelligence to France, and being on July 9 1679 brought before the King's Bench at Westminster and bailed to appear for trial at a later date. The charges were not pressed, and on February 14 1680 the pair were released from their bail.

He and Pepys were also MPs for Harwich in James II's first parliament from 19 May 1685.

His written work includes a "Doctrine for Naval Architecture". He was also a mentor of Peter the Great during his Grand Embassy. [Hoving, A.J. (1994) "Nicolaes Witsens Scheeps-Bouw-Konst Open Gestelt", p. 28.]
