Men Serving On Sicilian Gunboats and Mortar Boats

Here are the names of the gunners, sailors, lance corporals (appuntadores), and others serving on the Sicilian gunboats, and mortar boats; each craft was commanded by an American officer who no doubt had a dragoman (interpreter) along side him, but those names are not listed.

The Roman numerals indicate the volume in the seven volume set of the Naval Documents of the Barbary Wars.
