Things Looking Bad in the Chesapeake Bar Area July 4, 1813-- Part 2

Then, Joshua Barney went on to list how many Marines each British ship carried,  He was obviously very concerned of an amphibious assault.  The second number refers to the total from all ships of each class available.

"Each ship of the line 110 Marines  Total 1210
Each frigate 50--  1650
Each Sloop of War 30--  1140
Marines Coming from England--2000
Two Batallion of Royal Artilery, ditto--  1000
Two Batallion of Seamen (men they can trust)--  1200

8200."

This would give the British 8200 men for land operations.

"The Avowed object of the Enemy, is, the detruction of the City and Navy Yard at Washington, the City and Navy Yard at Norfolk and the City of Baltimore, we see by the above stationed that upwards of 8100 men can be landed from the Enemies ships."
