FOOTNOTES:

[666] The term “Period of Service” is used in a somewhat general sense. The dates are close approximations. Among the vessels used by the Naval Department as packets, merchantmen, or scout-ships are the following: “Despatch,” “Georgia Packet,” “Phœnix,” “Mercury,” “Baltimore,” “Enterprise,” and “Fame.”

[667] Several of Arnold’s vessels were employed on the Lakes in 1775.
