Description

William Marsden. Opine it is not expedient to repair frigates in Turnchapel dock or any other merchant yards, except in pressing circumstances. If a private yard is to be chosen, recommend a frigate which is in less need of repair than the Andromache. In fairness to Mr. Blackburn, we were satisfied with his work on the Nereide
