Albemarle at Elsinore
Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A flagship in northern waters. Not a portrait.
Overview
Southey places Albemarle off Elsinore during the Armed Neutrality, after the San Juan sickness. This note covers that reply only. The later Boston Bay schooner stays on Albemarle Fishing Schooner — Boston Bay. The Puerto Cabello launch stays on Deux-Ponts Launch — Puerto Cabello. The St. George’s Bank chase stays on St George’s Bank — Albemarle Shoals.1
The Reply
Southey says the Danish Admiral sent on board, desiring to be informed what ships had arrived, and to have their force written down. Nelson told the messenger that the Albemarle was one of his Britannic Majesty’s ships: he was at liberty to count the guns as he went down the side, and might assure the Danish Admiral that, if necessary, they should all be well served.2
The 1780 mortality figure stays on Hinchinbrook San Juan Mortality — 1780. Copenhagen 1801 stays on its own notes.
