APPENDICES APPENDIX A Correspondence between Robof Morris and William Whipple, between 6 July and 25 August 1777 Portsmouth 6" July 1777 Dear Sir In my way through Connecticut I had an opportunity of seeing the Trumbell,' and am sorry to say that her scituation is such that in my opinion, she can be of no use to the Public this Year, if ever, Capt Saltonstal12is doing every thing in his Power to get her out of the Ri~er,~he has Lifted her with four sloops about two feet and says she must be raised one foot more, before she can be got over the Bar which is about four miles distant, from where she now lays, if she shod be so fortunate as to get over the Bar she must lay one day, & perhaps two or three in a defenceless scit- uation exposed to the Enemies ships (which are continualy Cruising in the Sound) before she can possibly be got ready to proceed to a place of safety she has now on bord about 100 men & if she was at New London I am in no doubt wod soon be ready for sea but I think the chance is at least 20 to one against her ever gitg there. I am much surprized that any Person knowg the situation of the Place shod advise the Building of ships there, But it seems another ship somthg larger, consequently of a greater d[r]aught of water is to [be] built in the same place,4 I know not what forwardness this ship is in, but even if she was half Built, was she my property, I wod go no farther but content myself with the first loss for sure I am that the Expence of geting such a ship from that place will be mee+k+ half the cost of the Hull and the risque while the Enemy have the Command of the Sound is more then Equal to the other half But if two Ships must be Built in Connecticut, the materials pre- pared for that which is ordered to be Built in River might be transported to New London or Norwich at less then a quarter of the Expence then the Ship can be moov'd at, and the Aek risque saved-as I passed through New London I had an opportunity of seeing the Brig:5 which is to be Commandd by Capt ChewG & am con- firmed in my opinion that if she would have answered the private views for which she was first intended the Public would not have had the offer of her? if she proves a fast Sailor I &a44 am & &exceedingly mistaken, as I shall also be, if she is not a very Costly Vessel Mr: Shag +&he says she may be got away in a very short time, I had some conversation with that Gentleman about the Money he has in the west Indies. he declined entering into a perticular agreeament with me, but says the Committee may have all he has there at the same Exchange they have given others and Promised to write you per- ticularly on the Subject he has 3 or 4000 Sterling at Dominica but Knows not- how much he has at Martinique,- 1148 APPENDICES at Providence The Warren, Providence, & Camden9are still Laying in Providence River nor do I see any Prospect of their geting from thence at present, Capt Hopkinslo says he is determined to make a trial but I can not see a possibility of his escaping the Enemies ships while they remain in their Present scituation The Alfred is ready to sail waiting only for orders the Captain" tells me his last orders refers to others which was to be lodged with the agent, the first of July but have not been sent he has 150 men on Board which in my opin- ion is 30 more then he ought to have however they may be well disposed of for the other ships can find room for all he has to spare.-The Rabigh has her Guns on Board at last, 'tho 6 of them are 9 Pounders all she now waits for is men, she wod be compleatly maned in a very few days were it not for the Privateers of which there are a great number fiting out in this, and the Neighbouring Ports I hear 60 sea- men have marched from hence for Newbury this day to go on Board Privateers however, I flatter myself the Raleigh will soon be got to sea & that the Ranger will shortly follow her. I saw Capt Jones12 in Boston he Promised to follow me immedeately but is not yet arrived here, every possible means will be used for his dispatch Df, Private Collection, Remember When Auctions, Inc., Wells, Me., 1998.

Marine Matters, this way remain much as when I wrote you last,' The Boston, is at Casco Bay, no cer- tain accot: of the Hancock, but the Presumtion is much against her,2 not less then nine sail of the Enemies ships are Crusing between Cape Cod & Cape Sable eee ,r.l,,,a prize ship loaded chiefly with rum, was chas'd on shore by one of them of 32 Guns a few days ago about 7 miles from this town but as the tide was rising they soon had her afloat and carried her off, The Raliegh still wants a considerable number of men, in every other respect she is ready tege te4e to go to sea, which Capt TP3 is very anxious for but I must confess I think is too hazeardous to go out weakly mand when its almost certain he'll have to fight his way thro a number of the Enemies ships however as the Alfred has late- ly join'd him I believe they will try their fortunes very soon unless they have orders APPENDICES 1149 to the contrary, I Heartily wish they had orders to Cross the Atlantic as I think the Probability is in favor of their making a much more advantage[ous] Cruise on the Coast of Europe then in these seas & The Rangeris about half man'd, & geting ready with all possible dispatch I expect she will be ready to sail in two or three weaks The Officers are not all appointed, when they are, I shall transmit their names, with the dates of their Commissions and warrants. those that are appointed are good men, the First in perticular, (as to Knowledge of Naval Matters,) has not many if any superiors in the service &Wtcwe Pthe service Suffers h w+m+e& in this department beyond description for want of a navy Board which I have heard nothing of since I left Phia: for Heavens sake let that Board be put in motion-if the secret Committee m+ky want any more Vessels for Virginia or Carolina they may be either purchas'd or Chartered on much better terms this way, then with you if prop- er persons were applied to to procure them I wod not be understood by any means to insinuate any thing to the disadvantage- of the Agents, but they have too much Business on their hands to ttHeft$ do this to so good effect as some other persons who might be found in the different Maritime Towns I believe seme two or three vessels may be purchas'd or charter'd on good terms, here d-tai wev, but M""Langdon5 tels me he has no orders to Charter any if they are wanted it will be well to give orders immediately least they shod be other ways dispos'd of- Df, Private Collection, Remember When Auctions, Inc., Wells, Me., 1998.

  • The American Navies and the Winning of Independence
    The American Navies and the Winning of Independence During the American War of Independence the navies of France and Spain challenged Great Britain on the world’s oceans. Combined, the men-o-war of the allied Bourbon monarchies outnumbered those of the British, and the allied fleets were strong enough to battle Royal Navy fleets in direct engagements, even to attempt invasions of the British isles. In contrast, the naval forces of the United States were too few, weak, and scattered to confront the Royal Navy head on. The few encounters between American and British naval forces of any scale ended in disaster for the Revolutionary cause. The Patriot attempt to hold the Delaware River after the British capture of Philadelphia in 1777, however gallant, resulted in the annihilation of the Pennsylvania Navy and the capture or burning of three Continental Navy frigates. The expedition to recapture Castine, Maine, from the British in 1779 led to the destruction of all the Continental and Massachusetts Navy ships, American privateers, and American transports involved, more than thirty vessels. And the fall of Charleston, South Carolina, to the British in 1780 brought with it the destruction or capture of four Continental Navy warships and several ships of the South Carolina Navy. Despite their comparative weakness, American naval forces made significant contributions to the overall war effort. Continental Navy vessels transported diplomats and money safely between Europe and America, convoyed shipments of munitions, engaged the Royal Navy in single ship actions, launched raids against British settlements in the Bahamas, aggravated diplomatic tensions between Great Britain and European powers, and carried the war into British home waters and even onto the shores of England and Scotland.

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

Her command was given to Continental Navy Lieutenant Thomas ©awiatsea.com-posted August 2019 --1-- A William Nolen Van Powell painting of the Fly and the Mosquito . These rwo vessels were together in the Delaware River on 31 December 1776. The sloop Fly is correctly shown with black tarred sides and mounting four guns. Mosquito is shown as a normal small schooner. Her flag is correct for the time. --2-- Albertson, as a Lieutenant, Commanding. 1 Other sources indicate she was armed with four 9- pounder cannons, 2 but this certainly wrong as to the weight of metal.
