  MARINES - LoveToKnow Article on MARINES
At the peace of Utrecht (1713) the marines were disbanded, but reappeared in 1739 as part of the army; and in 1740 three regiments of marines were raised in America, the colonels being appointed by the crown, the captains by the provinces.

Then the marine force ceased to be composed of two corps, artillery and 1838 23,165 infantry, and it reverted to a single one of 58 40,219 infantry.
