Royal Portsmouth visit ends with honors to King and officers
The Portsmouth stay details the royal review of the 26th regiment in the Dock-yard, admiring the Barfleur and Charlotte yacht as the King promotes Vice Admiral Lord Edgecumbe, knighthoods, and a baronetcy then tours ramparts and fortifications. The article also notes a Tahitian cultural excerpt from Mr Banks, describing social practices and tattooing in Otaheite.
