Lossing's Field Book of the Revolution, Vol. I., Chapter XXVIII. Pursuant to the stipulations of that treaty, a French squadron for the American service was fitted out at Toulon, consisting of twelve ships of the line, and four frigates of superior size. The sentinels of the two armies were only four hundred yards apart, and the greatest caution was necessary to prevent information of Sullivan’s design from reaching Sir Robert Pigot. Two of his vessels approached to the attack of four British frigates (the Orpheus, Lark, Juno, and Cerberus) and some smaller vessels, lying near Prudence Island. freepages.history.rootsweb.com /~wcarr1/Lossing1/Chap28.html

Blockmaking  <  Marking time  <  autobio  <  Peter Marquis-Kyle Lots of blocks (which sailors never call pulleys) were needed on sailing ships — the exhiblet tells us that a seventy-four gun ship needs 922 of them. So the ship’s block was a good candidate for factory production. www.marquis-kyle.com.au /mt/000040.htm

Recent Publications The four consensus sons of John Witt-Whitt have been identified as John Witt II, William Witt, Edward Whitt, and Richard Whitt Sr.-the Witt-Whitt family of old Virginia. His insights on leadership, and the successes and failures of leaders and policies-viewed from the unique vantage point of having come from the lowest rung of an organization to positions of senior leadership-should be required reading for leaders and students of leadership in the military and civilian sector. This book presents a thorough, complete, and accurate history of the ancestors and descendants of William Whitt from 1621 to the present day. www.heritagebooks.com /recent_publications.htm

Journal of a Visitation in the "Hawk" Church Ship (1850) The house is mean and dirty, and the old patriarch, who has lived here nearly seventy years, was in a state of great filth and discomfort. Tuesday, July 24tg.—We left Rose Blanche about half-past seven o'clock, A.M. The wind was very light, and we did not reach Port aux Basques till four o'clock in the afternoon. Today, as then, we have been surrounded by fog, and drifted we hardly know whither—to-day, as then, the fog cleared off just at sunset, and discovered large islands before and behind us, but not soon enough to enable us to approach them or ascertain what they were. justus.anglican.org /resources/pc/canada/nf/spg25.html

The Books: Ship of the Line by C. S. Forester Captain Hornblower is newly in command of his first ship of the line, the seventy-four-gun HMS Sutherland, which he deems "the ugliest and least desirable two-decker in the Navy List." Moreover, she is 250 men short of a full crew, so Hornblower must enlist and train "poachers, bigamists, sheepstealers," and other landlubbers. But the grisly prospect of defeat and capture looms over both captain and crew as the Sutherland single-handedly takes on four French ships of the line. The Books: Ship of the Line by C.

320204 I was sent by Captain Berry with a message to the officer commanding the lower deck, and then got my first glimpse of the 'tween-decks of a ship in close action. There was ample accommodation, however, for she was short of her complement, eighty of her hands having been drafted into the various ships which had suffered most in the great action. An hour after our traps were on board the Leander, she weighed and we stood to the westward, bound for Gibraltar and Lord St Vincent's fleet off Cadiz. www.aboutnelson.co.uk /320204.htm

»»Reviews for York«« Jack is doing a turn commanding a seventy-four-gun ship of the line in the blockade of Toulon on the French Mediterranean coast, a mostly cold, dreary, boring, enervating sort of warfare. And unlike most books about New York City, this encyclopedia actually covers the other four boroughs, not just Manhattan! The other stories were all 3-star and 4-star in quality, so I'm averaging it all out to be four stars. www.booksunderreview.com /Reference/Biography/Y/York/York_15.html

Ship Modelers Association - Conference In 1984, he became a freelance consultant, continuing to work for major multinationals, and founded Jean Boudriot Publications, having by then undertaken his translation of Jean Boudriot’s monumental four-volume work The Seventy-Four Gun Ship. In 1980 he resigned his directorship of a building products company and became a management consultant, specializing in international strategy for major multinationals such as Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, Ciba-Geigy, Toyota, Olivetti, and so forth. For the next ten years publishing remained a spare-time hobby, but saw the translation of ten further books and the publication of his own first book 18th-Century Shipbuilding, as well as a selection of facsimile reprints of early works on shipbuilding. www.ship-modelers-assn.org /c00sprob.htm

Frank E Evans The prospect of a ship, a Sumner class destroyer, being cut in two was very hard to believe. The men who survived the disastrous collision of the Evans with the Melbourne must wonder what ultimately became of the ship?

Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, and Sweden 1994 by Mark R. Leeper and Evelyn C. Leeper The National Yiddish Book Center will not ship via some international shipper like DHL because there is less danger of confiscation if they send the books with someone who will fight for them. They don't say that, but if you read between the lines, their mail to us was telling us what we should argue if there was an attempt to stop the books. And Scandinavia will probably be more than at home. www.travel-library.com /europe/baltics.trip.leeper.html

Battle of Trafalgar: Nelson's Navy His officers were thus fully acquainted with his principles of tactics; and such was his confidence in their abilities that the only thing determined upon, in case they should find the French at anchor, was for the ships to form as most convenient for their mutual support, and to anchor by the stern. The two first ships of the French line had been dismasted within a quarter of an hour after the commencement of the action; and the others had in that time suffered so severely that victory was already certain. The firing recommenced with the ships to leeward of the centre, and continued till about three. www.paintedships.com /nelson5.asp

Sailing ships of the 18th Cent. Royal Navy Letters 1 (G.B.Rodney) About two o'clock we discovered that they were convoyed by a French man of war of seventy-four guns and two large frigates. It being now dark and we having all the rigging in the ship shot away, the enemy seeing our condition, took the opportunity, set her fore sail and top-gallant sails, and ran away. Thus we lost one of the finest two-deck ships my eyes have ever beheld. www.cronab.demon.co.uk /let3.htm

Editions ANCRE Her balance between strong guns and manoeuvrability offered by the 28 gun lower gundeck and firing 36 pound cannon-balls, made the "74" the perfect ship of the line. As the main naval war machine at the end of the 18th century, the 74 Gun Ship was the result of a compromise, like every successful vessel. He was first interested in the study of French statutory arms, on which he published four books that were accepted as authorities. www.ancre.fr /vaisso02-e.htm

Relic of the Revolution - Chapter II We were removed today from the Tarbay, after being on board six days, and carried on board the Burford, a ship of seventy-four guns.

This afternoon, about one hundred pressed men were brought on board this ship. www.americanrevolution.org /relic2.html
