These volumes in
their entirety covering the period from 1793 to 1821 are internally indexed at
the rear of the ledgers by rank. In relation to superannuation admirals and
captains (the latter at 14s 6d a day and 8s 6d a day) are shown, in this
particular case for the years 1820 and 1821. However, there is little actual
info other than financial and the handwriting is extremely difficult to
make out.
