Description

Philip Stephens. All ships and frigates of 20-guns and under, now building in King's or merchant yards, if not too advanced, to be bolted with copper bolts below the load draught of water. It is not advisable to do this ships building in merchant's yards, lest they are driven too slack and the ships become leaky, which would not be the case with King's yard building. Ask for approval to order the bottoms of ships building in merchants' yards to be fastened with iron bolts as usual.
