Embarkation of Troops for Naval Expedition at Ramsgate and Margate
The author describes fleets from Barhigate and the Dowra joining near the North Foreland and steering toward Yarmouth Roads. Over 30 ships in one fleet, with a larger opposing squadron, formed a fine contest watched by thousands. General Coote embarked, troops crowded the Ramsgate pier, and cavalry were landed at Ramsgate while infantry went to transports by boat due to water depth. A wounded trooper lamented his concealment on board a transport. A naval officer recalled a 1798 expedition where surplus troops smuggled aboard to serve. The writer notes potential embargo removal and ongoing movement of troops, with the 16th Foot arriving from Fort George to Canterbury for militia volunteers.
