Hawke era naval action and privateer tales amid storms
Reports from the Breach Coat soundings reveal thirteen to fifteen fathoms in some areas countering French claims of shallow water. Privateers lure, captures and recaptures unfold as British and French forces maneuver near Cape Clear, Brest and the West Indies. Ships including the Industrious Bee and others are lost or saved amid gales and engagements. Corsican Dragoons are planned for transport to France. A libel case, church appointments, and local elections accompany the day’s events.
