Thank you for Bligh’s account of his actions at the Battle of Camperdown. That makes things much clearer. I’d not seen Bligh’s first-hand account before. I must have at least a dozen books about Bligh, but I don’t remember reading that account. Perhaps I just forgot about it. Please tell me where you found it.

Thank you for your information also, which when added to that of Don makes things much clearer. DaveP
