The Greek navy on 1 January 1841 according to Frederick Strong

Thanks to the fact that nowadays more and more books are digitized we are able to read books that are some times for decades no longer available for the public for several reasons. That's quite a pity while these books contains useful information while the archives are destroyed, incomplete or nor accessible.

P. 313: “The Greek navy on the 1st January, 1841, consisted of the following ships:  2 corvettes, 2 steamers, 1 brig, 2 barks, 7 schooners, 5 cutters, 10 gun-boats, 1 ketch, and 1 cutter fitted with a diving-bell. Total 31 vessels, mounting 149 guns, with 866 men including officers.”
