Fleet movements and notices from London aboard ships and soldiers
A late 1702 London dispatch reports ships bound to Newcastle and Harwich with light collier fleets, regiments preparing for Greenslend, and officers aboard the convoy. It notes a request for captains and generals, the appointment of Prince George as Captain General, and a Privy Council swearing in Lord Dartmouth. Also listed are insurance and sale notices, advertisements for books, and public auctions with scattered personal notices and lost item rewards.
