Partial list: Continental warships: Warren (32, frigate), Diligent (14, brig), Providence (12, sloop). Massachusetts sent three 14-gun brigs from the state navy, Hazard, Active and Tyrannicide; New Hampshire sent Hampden (20), a privateer taken into state duty. There were also 12 privateers, of which 4 were 20-gun sloops of war, and 4 others were 18-gunners. Grand Commodore of the expedition was Dudley Saltonstall. No list of the transports, but the total appears to have been 44 ships altogether. British: three sloops of war--HMS North (20), HMS Albany (18), HMS Nautilus (18). On August 13 the British brought up a two-decker (think battleship, in today's terms) HMS Raisonable (64), frigates HMS Blonde (32), HMS Virginia (32), HMS Greyhound (28), and 3 sloops of war, HMS Camilla (20), HMS Galatea (20), & HMS Otter (14).

There were either 44 or 52 ships and it was the worst naval disaster in this country until Pearl Harbor. I believe some Bunkers were there and know there was at least one list of the ships but cannot find any. Help. Thanks.
