4 October 1858 Sir,

I beg to acquaint you that the "Thames City" sailed from ShipsThames Citydeparture for Gravesend Deptford Deptford Deptford, one of the first naval dockyards in England, was situated on the south bank of the Thames, immediately above Greenwich. The first dock was constructed there about 1542, and it was here that Sir Francis Drake returned in 1581 after circumnavigating the world. In the late seventeenth century, Deptford became headquarters of the Victualling Board of the Royal Navy. It declined in importance after 1869, when the Navy transferred many of its facilities to the dockyards at Chatham and Sheerness. The dockyard at Deptford finally closed in 1965. on Saturday last, for Gravesend; 10 Lay Days having been consumed by her at the former place, in the shipment of the Stores.

I have etc. Chas. Richards
