The Lexington and Vincennes sloops were launched in March and May of the same year. " Mr. de Roos next describes the Ohio, 74, which he terms a splendid ship. I am glad to hear that a professional gentleman has reason to be pleased with any of our vessels ; but I think he labours under some error when he adds, ' I afterwards learned that this vessel (the Ohio) was an instance...
