Pennsylvania Navy The Armed Boat Argus,1777.

I never knew that Pennsylvania had a navy, so when I came across this information I couldn’t pass it up. Pennsylvania had 47, ships in their navy, and the Argus was one. On this page you will find the Argus muster roll. At the end of this muster you will find a listing of all 47, ships. There are muster rolls of all these ships, so if you didn’t find your ancestor or a name of interest on this roll, maybe they can be found on one of the other 46, rolls. If you would like a copy of a muster roll, or just a look up, just drop me a line. My address can be found in my profile.
