Description (What the record is about)
-
John Clevland. The Lynn or the Roebuck are to be converted into a hulk at Antigua or one of the 40-gun ships at Plymouth is to be converted and sent out with stores. Commodore Moore indicates there is a great need for a hulk and neither of those ships would be worth repairing when they return home. The charge of fitting a 40-gun ship here will be five or six thousand pounds so continue our opinion that it would be better to convert one there as there are insufficient stores at Plymouth, they would have to be sent from Deptford and the storeship would have to be unloaded to do so.
