NOTES TO ABSTRACT No. 23.
a The Nelson ; began building at Woolwich in December, 1809, launched July 4, 1814. Except that the area of the line of floatation and the depth of hold in the Nelson were greater, her draught was similar to that of the Caledonia.

It here appears, that the Nelson's depth of hold is 10 inches
greater than the Caledonia's, and that the former's masts and yards, wholly on
account of the alteration made in her hull, are considerably larger. The main mast and yard
of the San-Josef, a late Spanish three-decker of 2457 tons, were of the
same dimensions as those of the Nelson ; but the former's bowsprit was two feet 11
inches longer and two inches one-eighth thicker. The mainmast of the
Commerce-de-Marseilles, the celebrated French three-decker brought from Toulon in
1793, was only one inch longer, and a quarter of an inch stouter, than the
Nelson's ; but the former's main yard was as much as eight feet one inch longer,
and two inches and a half stouter, than that of the latter.
The Nelson not having yet been at sea, her qualifications as a
sailer and sea-boat, although the highest expectations are justly entertained of
them, cannot at present be stated.
b The hired vessels appear to have been all discharged.
