Every warship with more than about ten guns had some kind of marine detachment. On board HMS Victory, for example, the marines included 146 officers and men. Marines, who could not be pressed, served as a professional military unit, both afloat and ashore. At sea they were employed to guard vital areas of the ship - the powder rooms, magazines, spirit room and the entrances to the officers' and admiral's quarters. They gave general assistance to seamen when unskilled heavy labour was required, such as hauling on ropes or turning the capstan, but were not obliged to go aloft. If there was any danger of mutiny, the marines had a paramount role in protecting the officers.

During battle they provided extra manpower to operate guns, and were useful for small-arms fire and close-quarters defence. They also participated in cutting-out (cutting the enemies ropes to their anchors and making off with their ships) expeditions against the enemy.

Seamen had no great inclination to mix with marines, a preference that was deliberately encouraged; they ate and slept separately. There was a certain amount of resentment among the officers of the two services, partly because the marines had a more impressive uniform, but also to do with the fact that mixed parties were generally put under the command of naval

officers.

According to Captain Basil Hall, who served in the Napoleonic Wars, the difference between seamen and marines was absolute: 'No two races of men who served in the Napoleonic Wars, the difference between seamen and marines was absolute: 'No two races of men differ from one another more completely than the "Jollies" and the "Johnnies". The marines are enlisted for life, or for long periods as in the regular army. The sailors, on the contrary, when their ship is paid off are turned adrift and generally lose all they have learned of good order during the previous three or four years.

In 1802, largely at the instigation of John Jervis, Earl St Vincent, George III decreed that the soldiers of the sea henceforth would be known as the Royal Marines. Three years later in 1805 some 30,000 marines had been voted by Parliament, and Jervis said of them, If ever the hour of real danger should come to England , they will be found the country's sheet anchor.'
