Greetings to the List, For those that may have some interest in "Pay and Prizes of the old U.S. Navy 1776-1899"....I just posted a link to any article that I believe offers some great info in that era. Oh yes it can be dry reading...but for someone that is trying to get a handle on what the outlay of a yearly salary of an Admiral ...or whatever rank....it is in there. You can get to my blog with this address: http://navalmerchantshiparticles.blogspot.com/ Hope you find the article useful -- Enjoy!!
