John Stimson 'Misfortunes that befell HMS LICHFIELD on the coast of Barbary', 1758. The LICHFIELD was wrecked on the Barbary Coast (29th?) November 1758 in bad weather, when part of a fleet including HM ships TORBAY, PRINCE EDWARD, FOUGUEUX, ROMAN EMPEROR and NASSAU. Two hundred and twenty crew were saved and one hundered and thirty one lost. Many who survived and got to shore were captured by ‘moors’. The journal contains descriptions of the crews' experience in North Africa, including descriptions of customs and culture and the punishments endured at the hands of their captors. It also includes lists of those who survived, as well as those who died, both on land and at sea.
