Navy Disposition Lists
Source: BL:
IOR: L/MAR/C/701-703 - ‘Alphabetical List of Vessels of Her Majesty’s Indian
Navy showing the Number of Guns and the names of the Officers...’ February 1854
to March 1863
There are three volumes
of these documents covering the above period. They appear to have been monthly
returns, not all surviving for the period in this volume. These are
straightforward and handy in various ways. For instance, as well as stating the
type, or status of vessels and rig in the case of sailing vessels (something
that can be frustrating all the way through with these organisations), they
also show where vessels were stationed. In effect these are value added
disposition lists.
