CommentThose built for Royal Service have the letters H.M.S. after them; those for the Hon. Company, whether Naval or Mercantile Service, H.C.S.; the remainder being either private merchant ships or uncertain. All the earlier vessels, described in the list as 'grabs' were built, we believe, for the Bombay Marine. Three ships of the name of 'Bombay' appear in the above list, of which the last, launched in 1793, was the thirty-eight-gun frigate which, in 1805, was handed over to the Royal Navy, with the 'Cornwallis', fifty-six guns, the ships being re-named respectively the 'Ceylon' and 'Akbar'. The List has no pretention to absolute accuracy.
