The Van Guard, a Second Rate, was over-set at Chatham, but no Men lost,
the Ship not being fitted out.
_Of the Damage to the Navy_
This is a short but terrible Article, there was one Ship called the
_York_, which was lost about 3 days before the great Storm off of
_Harwich_, but most of the Men were saved.
The loss immediately sustain'd in the Royal Navy during the Storm, is
included in the List hereunto annex'd, as appears from the Navy Books.
The damage done to the Ships that were sav'd, is past our Power to
compute. The Admiral, Sir _Cloudesley Shovel_ with the great Ships, had
made sail but the day before out of the _Downs_, and were taken with the
Storm as they lay at or near the _Gunfleet_, where they being well
provided with Anchors and Cables, rid it out, tho' in great extremity,
expecting death every minute.
