Description (What the record is about)
-
Thomas Corbett. Admiral Mathews has complained that part of Gibraltar Bay where Naval vessels were to anchor was so full of anchors that it was not safe to do so. The anchors are not to be raised because there are no vessels available to raise them. It is unlikely that ships will be endangered because the anchors are in 40 fathoms of water. If ships' boats were to sweep and found anchors then the ships could raise them.
