• Notes

  --- "London Courier and Evening Gazette" 18 Apr 1812, page 4: We are concerned to state that on the 25th of Feb. a most afflicting accident took place on board of the Blake, in the harbour of Port Mahon, in the Island of Minorca: -- Lord Henry Lennox, the third son of their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, a most amiable and promising youth, in his 15th year, whose taste and spirit had led him to embrace the profession of the Navy, having gone aloft to assist in furling the sails, while the ship was coming to an anchor, most unfortunately fell into the sea; one of his comrades swam to save him -- but alas! melancholy to relate, he was found lifeless, having, probably, received the fatal blow in his fall. His remains were interred in Fort St. Philips, amidst the tears of all present, and deeply lamented by Capt. Codrington, and every individual on board the ship.
