"The Semslack was a vessel of 270 tons, captured from the Dutch in 1703,
and used by the French as a freighter and fire-ship. Her crew and armament
on a peace footing was 100 men and 14 guns, in war 140 men and 28 guns, half
of which were six and the others four pounders. She was described as an
ordinary sailer, and disappears from the Navy Lists in 1718 (Arch. Nat.
