Description

Josiah Burchett. The Revenge, surveyed on float at Chatham, will need a large repair or to be rebuilt. The Devonshire and Northumberland will also need large repairs and propose that the Revenge is brought to Deptford by the men who will carry the Duke to Chatham, after her arrival, to be docked at Deptford or rebuilt in one of the slips. The Devonshire and Northumberland should be brought to Woolwich after the Cumberland is launched. The Preston has been taken to pieces at Portsmouth and no slip is available to rebuild her so propose to take her serviceable remains to Plymouth and rebuild her there as a 50-gun ship of the dimensions of the Gloucester.
