Description (What the record is about)
-
William Marsden. Rear Admiral Thornbrough has complained about a sample of rope from the Eagle, which he says is of such bad quality that he wants an enquiry made. The rope was made by contract, by John Godsell of Stepney, which was delivered to Woolwich and agree about the quality of it but not that Godsell should not be asked to supply again. Report of testing the rope and check of cordage made by other suppliers. Do not think it fair that Godsell's should be deprived of further orders as the Admiral has not provided evidence of how much was of bad quality.
