Description (What the record is about)
-
Portsmouth Officers to the Board. Due to the lowest spring tide ever known, we have been unable to get the Marlborough out of the dock. As a result we have been unable to dock the Ajax. We could not get the Sandwich or Princess Amelia ready to dock this spring and have taken the Arrogant into the South dock in the basin as we hope to square her bottom and fit her to lay at Spithead. Next spring we intend to dock the Sandwich and Princess Amelia, undock the Marlborough and dock the Ajax.
