The ships include HMS Victory and HMS Royal Sovereign, with 104 and 100 guns respectively, but also such minor vessels as the schooner HMS Pickle and cutter HMS Entreprenante, as well as other such famous ships of the Royal navy as HMS Temeraire, HMS Dreadnought and HMS Bellerophon. In this book the careers of over 850 men are detailed, from the Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief himself to captains, lieutenants, masters, masters' mates, and midshipmen, including volunteers (1st class), chaplains, surgeons, assistant surgeons, surgeons' mates, pursers, gunners, boatswains and royal marines captains, lieutenants and 2nd lieutenants.
