This is my working list of Royalist ships at Kinsale at the beginning of September 1649. My information is based on
The Letters of Robert Blake, Michael Baumber's book,
General-at-Sea, Colledge's book
Ships of the Royal Navy, Vol.I, R.C. Anderson's entry in
Lists of Men-of-War 1650-1700 Part I
English Ships 1649-1702, and R.C. Anderson's
List of English Naval Captains 1642-1660. The last two are "Occasional Publications" of the Society for Nautical Research.
- Constant Reformation (52 guns)
- Swallow (36 guns)
- Convertine (42 guns)
- Washford frigate (14 guns)
- Ark (20 guns)
- Scots frigate (24 guns)
- James (29 guns) 300 tons

- Culpepper (18 guns)
- Roebuck (12 guns) 90 tons
- Blackmoor Lady (18 guns) 180 tons

The English left at Kinsale in early September 1649 were:
- Lion (52 guns), flagship of Robert Blake
- Garland (44 guns)
- Elizabeth (36 guns)
- Nonsuch (36 guns)

I have also consulted my notes from Powell's
The Navy in the English Civil War, although that was not very helpful.
