18th Century HMS ships
« on: Tuesday 22 June 21 12:36 BST (UK) »
I am researching a person who joined the Royal Navy in 1770 and during the next ten years or so sailed on a number of ships. I have the names of the vessels but would like to learn more about their captains, crews and voyages etc. Is there a website listing these details please?
