In 1707 he was in some small actions with the French in the Channel, and in 1711, he served in the man-of-war HMS ''Lion'' at the battle of Vigo Bay. The ship was commanded by Captain Galfridus Walpole, whose right arm was severely wounded.

In February 1721, Atkins sailed from Spithead for the coast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
