Description (What the record is about)
-
Folios 534-535: William O'B Drury, HMS Powerful, Cork. He parted from Vice Admiral Colpoys as ordered by signal and arrived here for water as the wind direction prevented reaching a port in England. Off Cape Clear he encountered a French warship but was not able to catch up with her by the time dark fell at the latitude of Scilly. Admiral Kingsmill wishes to send HMS Powerful westward in search of enemy vessels, which he will be ready to do once he has received a supply of water.
Folios 536-537: enclosure with folios 534-535 dated 31 December 1796 from John Lutman, Carpenter. Defects of HMS Powerful, William O'B Drury, Captain.
