Description

Folios 450-451: Daniel Oliver Guion, HMS Trusty, Spithead.

Acknowledges receipt of their Lordships' letter of 25 December, and says if he had realised he should send a note of the state of the ship before the quarantine period had ended he would certainly have done so. He encloses same now. Admiralty note on rear says to acquaint him it was his duty to send an account of the state of his ship immediately on arrival as otherwise arrangements cannot be made for her to be released from quarantine. Ship is to be attended to by Navy Board immediately on release from quarantine.

Folio 452: Enclosure with folios 450-451: Daniel Oliver Guion, Captain, Spithead, December 1801.

Account of the defects of HM S Trusty, including very bad want of caulking, the ship 'works' very much and leaks greatly in the bends and topsides etc. , the main mast much shorter through being struck by lightning at Malta, the copper rubbed off very much in her bottom.
