The Royal George,108 guns, the oldest first-rate in the Navy, was anchored at harbour where she was hove down for minor repair. The officer of the day refused to heed a seaman who warned him that the ship was taking in water through the ports. The ship sank as she took in water, and went to the bottom with 1200 people on board, including 250 women and children; nearly 900 of them drowned, including Admiral Kempenfeldt. The Royal George was launched in 1751, and had served as the flagship for Anson, Boscawen, Hawke, Rodney, and Howe. Her hull was finally broken up by exploding gunpowder in 1839-41. (Huntress).

After Tomlinson's first-hand experience with the impressing of seaman "The employment, which I had in 1770, gave me many opportunities of being a witness to such unspeakable distresses, as moved me to compassionate the sufferers, and exited me to begin an essay for abolishing that mode of raising seaman", he here proposes legislation that would allow more time before seamen had to report for duty, better pay and a maximum time of three years service.
