This list is extracted from the Universal Scots Almanack of 1800; dispositions of ships are probably thus those of late 1799. Where a vessel has multiple commanders listed, these are generally being used as the flagship of a larger squadron. Unless stated otherwise, officers should be assumed to be of the rank of Captain. Note that the ranks are not consistently abbreviated, and (for example) Rear Admiral may be given variously as "Rear Ad.", "R. Ad." or "R. A."
All spellings, numbers, etc. are as given in the original source. Please contact me if you wish one of these double-checked for transcription errors.
