Dublin Journal reports bold royal rewards for maritime service
The article cites July ordinances by the King granting protection and rewards to those arming ships and tending the wounded and widows, plus a later decree distributing value from captured ships to commanders and crews, while leaving a third for fallen families. It notes allied dispatches from Madrid and Brest and various Atlantic and Caribbean naval movements.
