TERMShip money Source: Essex CRO In: Taxation
A tax originally levied on coastal areas in medieval England to provide ships for the navy during times of war. Charles I revived the tax in 1634, but attempted to impose it on the whole country, in peacetime, and without parliamentary consent; the unpopularity of this was a contributory factor in the outbreak of the English Civil War (Source: OED)
