Isaac Gulliver information


A miniature of Isaac Gulliver painted in 1821 and preserved in Chettle House, Blandford Forum by his descendants

Isaac Gulliver (1745–1822) was an English smuggler based on the South Coast.[1] Gulliver and his gang ran fifteen luggers to transport gin, silk, lace and tea from the Continent to Poole Bay[2] and came to control the coast from Lymington on The Solent in Hampshire, through Dorset to Torbay in Devon. He was known as "King of the Dorset Smugglers" and was also referred to as "the gentle smuggler who never killed a man".[2] His men, who whitened their hair and wore smock-frocks, were known as the "white-wigs".
