Note of the sailings and arrivals of His Majesty's Ship San Fiorenzo, Charles William Paterson commanding, between March and July 1801
Manuscripts
This small collection consist of six letters from Captain Paterson to his uncle Charles William Tonyn (died 1805, rector of Radnage in Buckinghamshire) and to his grandmother, written chiefly from the Mediterranean fromn 1793 to 1794, mentioning in passing the French Royalist uprising at Toulon in November 1793, Sir william Sidney Smith's attack on the French naval fleet and arsenal in the Inner Harbor at Toulon, and Paterson's own concerns for his family, patronage, and promotion, and the Navy Board's various letters to Paterson concerning the personnel, supplies, and refitting of the ship Admiral de Vries at Chatham Yard in 1798. Other than a brief testimonial and a list of his promotions, there is virtually nothing about Paterson's earlier service in North America or his activities during the remainder of the Napoleonic Wars.
