Thomas Corbett. Admiral Anson reports damage to the masts of the Defiance and Amazon in normal conditions which raises doubts about the specifications of shrouds and lanyards. He proposes they should be made larger throughout the Fleet. Have ordered the Officers in all the Yards for their views of the sizes specified in the dimensions of 1745 and their ideas about the design of sails. The survey applies equally to ships built to the dimensions of 1733 and 1741 as these are not significantly different from those of 1745 |
