The Secretary of the Admiralty Board carried on an extensive correspondence with government offices and with naval officers throughout the Empire. This sub-series consists of items that relate primarily to Newfoundland convoys, the Quebec expeditions of 1711 and 1759, the Louisbourg expeditions of 1745 and 1758, and events leading to the American Revolution. There are letters relating to the voyage of HMS FURNACE in search of a north west passage, 1741. The subject matter of the letters is diverse and includes provisioning, preservation of timber for naval purposes, crew and officer replacements, the Halifax dockyard, pensions and reimbursement of naval personnel, and their dependents, customs enforcement, and hydrographic surveys.
