Watermen 1660–1837 Supernumerary, in Ordinary w/o fee or Extraordinary Watermen 1672–1692; 1719–1727 Watermen at Pension 1673–1837 Footnotes
There were forty eight watermen plus as many as twelve watermen at pension all appointed by the lord chamberlain. Watermen made £3 per annum plus livery under Charles II. Their salaries were raised to £3 2s 6d. each under his successors, paid by the treasurer of the chamber. In 1782 their livery payment was estimated to be about £5 2s apiece.
The watermen at pension were, from 1830, to determine on the deaths of the incumbents. (fn. 1)
