Wilson of the Curlew Rowing Club, Greenwich. This Ballot-box was presented by a Mr. Joseph Pullen to the Officers Mess on board HM Ship VICTORY in the year 1804(?). During that year, the VICTORY was laying at Woolwich reconditioning and this Mr. Pullen was one of the leading citizens at that time. The box was used by the Officers of the vessel for voting for or against any subject pertaining to the mess room and allowing leading civilians to become temporary members. (The grog in these days being rather good). It was also used in deciding the fate of men collected by the Press Gangs to serve aboard the different ships. during a riot aboard the VICTORY by members of the crew, year unknown, it was with other gear thrown overboard into the Thames. This Ballot box was recovered by a Thomas waterman and returned to Mr. Pullen who presented it to the Curlew Rowing Club.
