Introduction

The allotted regiments, also known as provincial regiments, were established in the various counties of Sweden and were also carrying the name of the respective county or province. So, the locations of the allotted regiments were the county/counties were they were established. That is also were the regiments’ rotar and rusthåll were located. This is also true for the navy companies. Below is a territorial overview of the Swedish allotted navy companies' locations.

Båtsmän - Navy Seamen

"Båtsmän" was the Swedish name of the navy seamen provided by the Allotment System. The "båtsmän" was provided in the same manner as the soldiers in the Army, that is through the "rote" farmers. Literally "båtsmän" (plural) means "boatmen". The "båtsmän" were deckhands doing all sorts of duties plus manning the guns during battle. It is difficult to find an English translation of the title "Båtsman". They were a type of semen serving on board the Navy ships as explained above. The special thing about the "båtsmän" was the way they were provided - recruited - trained. The "båtsmän" was organized in special Navy companies called "Båtsman Companies" ("Båtsmanskompanier"), not in regiments. It is "båtsman" in singular and "båtsmän" in plural. The majority of the "båtsmän" were recruited in a similar way as the soldiers in the Infantry, that is through the "rote" farmers. These seamen were called “roterade båtsmän”. However, there were a minor part of the "båtsmän" recruited in a similar way as the horsemen in the Cavalry, that is through the system of "rusthåll". These seamen were called “indelta båtsmän”.
