HC Deb 18 August 1887 vol 319 c946
COMMANDER BETHELL (York, E.R., Holderness)

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether Rear Admiral Fremantle had proper charts on board H.M.S. Agincourt during the recent Naval practice, to enable him to operate north of the Thames if he desired to do so; and, if so, to what latitude his charts extended?

THE FIRST LORD (Lord GEORGE HAMILTON) (Middlesex, Baling)

The charts supplied to the Agincourt would have enabled Admiral Fremantle to operate in the North Sea as far as lat. 52° 10', 40 miles to the northward of the Tongue Lightship, at the entrance to the Thames, and as far eastward as the Coast of Holland.
