Transomed At A Low Rate Occasion

Fragmentary Dispatches Describe Skirmish and Prisoners
An eighteenth century letter from Cadiz details a battle near Frankfort with Major Wunfeh and his regiment taking 300 prisoners, while another report describes the Shannon capturing a Spanish frigate and a Genoa vessel near Gibraltar. A Royal Navy squadron, including the ships Dorrington and Royal Sovereign, is mentioned with convoy movements and quarantine notes.
