Note on the title:\\ 
In February 1702 Henry Playford advertised perhaps his most unusual publication: A List of the Royall
Navy of England in the year 1702, which gave details, under each ship's name, of when, where and by
whom it was built, and its specifications. Later the same year it was re-issued with an additional
smaller list attached, of the French and Spanish Fleet and Galleons, that were taken or destroy'd at Vigo (See Emperor of the Moon, Altrincham, 2006, p42).
