Can anyone tell me where the Revenge was in June 1806?

I know she returned to England in December 1805, and was off the Gironde in July 1806.

First few days of the month Revenge seems to have been in Cawsand Bay.

Then shortly after she must have put to sea as the newspaper report below is dated 14th June.

One confusion unfortunately as another report dated 30th June has her in a squadron with different ships i.e. Prince of Wales and Conqueror off Rochefort.

So maybe there was some movement of ships between these squadrons.

Hope this helps.

Mark.
