  • 1804 Lieut. Edward Nathaniel GREENSWORD, Downs.
    On the afternoon of 23 October John HANCOCK in cruiser (18) accompanied by the gunbrigs TIGRESS, CONFLICT, ESCORT and BLAZER and two hired cutters, ADMIRAL MITCHELL and GRIFFIN, gave chase to a division of two prames and 18 armed schuyts which had sailed to the westward from Ostend.
