Description

Folios 215-216: Robert Larkan, HMS Camilla, off Havre. He has sent The Duchess of York Cutter to Spithead for provisions. Last week with the Cutter and Redbridge schooner he noted eight sails standing off Havre, then chased some into Caen River and some into [Dieve?] Creek where he fired for some time where they were sheltered under the Batteries. He perceived that he had caused some damage without receiving any himself.

It was noted that there were unrigged enemy ships in Havre Basin and one gun vessel abreast of the Pier.
