Marlborough?

Post by jon_ystrad »

Augustus Hervey's Journal makes some reference to a ship called Marlborough at Port Mahon, 1756. Is this a privateer, or a decommissioned warship, or something else?

My bad. I assumed because of the way Hervey talked about it and because it was in italics it was a ship, and the only ship of the name I could find was a privateer

BUT

It is a fort or advanced bastion of St Phillip's Castle at Mahon

Sorry!
