Description (What the record is about)
-
Thomas Corbett. Contracted with William Wilson to find vessels to be taken up for transports to carry 500 men and horses from Gravesend to Flanders. It is inconvenient for the Deptford Officers to leave their duty to attend surveys and measurement of transports and the workmen working without checks are developing idle habits. Have, therefore, appointed two persons to measure, survey and report on all ships taken up as transports. One is a seaman and Elder Brother of Trinity House, and the other a merchant shipbuilder. Encloses a letter from Mr Conway, Agent for Transports, who thinks he is to be superceded when we were thinking of employing him in the present embarkation
