As already mentioned in the main page, the vessels that were earmarked for retention came both from the Indian Navy and the Bengal Marine. In total there were eleven of these. Of six steam transports, four were to be ‘ready for sea’, split equally between Bombay and Calcutta, with two in reserve. The Bengal Marine’s contribution was to comprise the unarmed screw-steamers Sydney, Australian and the paddle-steamer Arracan). Three sailing transports were to be retained, one at Calcutta and two in reserve - all from the Bengal Marine. They were Sesostris (turned over to the Bengal Presidency in 1853, she seems to have been re-built as a sailing vessel between 1858 and 1859), Tubal Cain and Walter Morrice. There were also two steam vessels ‘for general service’ of the Government of India, both from the Indian Navy. In the case of Calcutta, Ferooz was detailed.
