Does the log give a rating and date of boarding? Essington took command of the Triumph in Sept. 1797, but that doesn't mean Greensword moved at the same date. I assume the acting position was to replace casualties amongst the officers?
Cy, the information quoted in Byrne's Naval Biographical Dictionary regarding my ancestor was erroneous. I am in possession a photo copy of the "Triumphs" log written in Capt. Essington's own hand with ENG's name on the roster at the time of Camperdown. I also have a photo copy of the ships ENG sailed on during the Napoleonc wars written in his own hand, placing him on the Triumph at the time of Camperdown and was made acting Lieutenant Oct. 11 1797, by Essington. ENG was also with Essington on the "Septre", "Moiselle" and "Sea Fencibles" as well.... Respsectfully Gary L. Greensword
Interesting. The presence at Capmperdown is quoted in Byrne's Naval Biographocal Dictionalry 1849. "...embarked 2nd July 1795 on board the Coromandel, Capt. John Ingliss, under whom, on removing to the Belliqueux 64, he bore a part in the action off Camperdown 11 Oct 1797." Inglis recomissioned the Belliqueux iin May 1696, so presumably Greensword went with him at that time?
Can you please let me know the source for your assertion?
thanks Cy

Please be advised that Edward Nathaniel Greensword actually served aboard HMS "Triumph" under Capt. William Essington at the Battle of Camerdown.
