List of the Petty Officers on board the Continental Ship Alliance (1779). This undated List of the Petty Officers on board the Continental Ship Alliance located in Box XI of the Benjamin Franklin Papers at the University of Pennsylvania was transcribed by Joseph Ross in 2011. Also included in Box XI of the Franklin Papers is a longer undated “List of Officers, Seamen, and Marines belonging to the Continental Ship of War the Alliance under the Command of Peter Landais Esq ” which names 156 men including the nineteen on this list. It is suggested by the editors of the Franklin Papers that the larger list of officers and men belonging to the Alliance is possibly referenced in a letter from Landais to Franklin posted from Brest on 17 March 1779.
