West, Francis 1623- Naval officer; born in England; was commissioned admiral of New England in 1623, with power to restrain such ships as came upon that coast to fish without the consent of the council of Plymouth; but finding the fishermen too stubborn and numerous to be controlled, on his arrival in June, 1623, he sailed to Virginia. This interference with the New England fisheries called forth a petition to Parliament from the owners of the fishing-vessels, and an order was issued that the business should be free. In the spring of 1624 about fifty English fishingships appeared on the New England coasts.
