| Collection | Edward, Duke of York and Albany |
| Description | Edward describes the 'muziness' of going to sea, the table fiddlers, the noises of the bulkheads and canons in his room, the quickness of the marines, the exercising of the great guns, and the noble sight of the ships of the line. He also discusses the men on board singing songs with comical fellows acting plays, and their spirit and determination to do their ships proud to counteract the disgraceful reputation of the Ramilles in the Mediterranean. |
