Navy Board Minute Book, 26 September 1692 - 20 January 1693, detailing the resolutions of orders, manning, affairs of HM Ships in chronological order.

Provides a detailed contemporary index at the front of the volume giving ship names alphabetically along with the name of the captain's name, along with a short list of Admirals and their flags and also convoys and cruizers. Contains a useful numerical system for following minutes relating to a particular ship.
