Great Britain
Napoleonic Wars
Lord Nelson
1873 (26 June) printed "Account of the Expence of Boatswains Stores on Board / [page over] Majesty's Ship the Agamemnon" for "Lashing and Securing the Booms" etc. signed "Horatio Nelson" (Captain), Tom Wilson (Master) and Alan Moffat (Boatswain); the reverse mostly obscured by paper adherence having been mounted to page - this could well be professionally restored.

Notes: The Agamemnon was Nelson's last command at sea before becoming Squadron Commander. The ship was at Gibraltar at the time of this account, sailing then to Toulon and Sicily.
