Because of the existence of a number of printed forms used in Pensacola during
the British period (1765-1781), and because these forms are "sloppy" in
printing and quite local in text, we have hypothesized the existence of a
press aboard a H.M.S. ship that could have delivered some local printing for
Pensacola/West Florida in this period.   I do not know if this is the same
"realm" as "portable presses" but I recall reading somewhere about that some
of Her Majesty's ships (the larger ones) carried a press.
