Yes, - "Galleon of Tauro" is an enigmatic ship... Sometimes he is even named by a "galley"...

Capt. Francis Wyvell, Commander of her Majesty's ship Barfleur at Vigo, [his petition is read] representing that he was with great charge and hazard of his life the actual captor of the Dartmouth man of war and Tauro galley (being as he conceives one third part of the wealth taken there) and hath had no other reward for that service but an equal share of the moiety allowed to captors by the Queen's Declaration of 1 June 1702, with other Commanders of ships there who were only assistants : therefore prays that his said services may be rewarded as the Queen shall think fit.

From: 'Minute Book: June 1705', Calendar of Treasury Books, Volume 20: 1705-1706 (1952), pp. 14-19. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=84788&strquery=Tauro Date accessed: 07 June 2009.

But there is very little information about him... his primordial name I did not find so...

//Sorry to my bad knowledge of English...
