Excerpt: ... his friends canvassed before it was known that the seat was vacant, and was elected on the fourth day without any expense but the usual fees. In 1837 he was offered the command at Portsmouth by Lord Minto, which he accepted; but at the same time remarked to his lordship, that being in Parliament, he often voted against that party. Lord Minto made answer that he offered it to him as an old officer without any regard to politics. Before his appointment took place, Lord Minto informed him that he was commanded by the king not to sign his commission while he was in Parliament. On receiving this information, he told Lord Minto that the naval service had been the sole object of his life, and that he had no wish to remain in Parliament. He accordingly accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and took the command at Portsmouth. In the autumn of 1837, he received orders to proceed with a small squadron to attend the Queen at Brighton, it being her majesty's first visit to a seaport since her accession. He was requested by the magistrates of the town to be on shore upon her majesty's arrival, and to lend his private band for the occasion. He had the honour of dining with her majesty on the day of her arrival. Next morning he waited on the Queen to receive her commands. She seemed to take much interest in the squadron, and said, "Admiral, it blew very hard last night, take care of the ships, keep them at a distance from the shore, and if you think it necessary, send them to the ports in the neighbourhood. I know this is a bad anchorage." The admiral replied that he ld taken every precaution, and that they would again be collected when her majesty wished to see them. Two days afterwards, the equerry came to say, her majesty would see the squadron under sail, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is a perennial interest in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic wars and in Nelson himself, there is no reference work that chronicles all the captains of his ships, their social origins, their characters and the achievements in their lives beyond their service under Nelson. This new book, researched and written by distinguished historians, descendants of some of Nelson's officers, and members of the 1805 Club, presents concise biographies of those officers who fought with Nelson in his three great battles, with superb colour illustration throughout. Nelson first gave the name of 'band of brothers' to the officers who had commanded ships of his fleet at the battle of the Nile (1798). This new volume will include 100 officers, ranging from lieutenants in command of gunboats at the battle of Copenhagen (1801) through captains of line-of- battle ships at the Nile and at Trafalgar (1805), to admirals in command of squadrons in his fleets. Of real significance are the specially commissioned photographs of all the monuments and memorials to Nelson's captains, descriptions with transcriptions of epitaphs, and clear directions to enable the readers to find them. Part travel book, part biography and moving testimony to Nelson's faithful captains, Nelson's band of Brothers presents the opportunity to rediscover 100 local heroes.

Download or read book The Durham Papers written by Hilary L. Rubinstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-13 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admiral Sir Philip Durham (1763–1845) was one of the most distinguished and colourful officers of the late Georgian Navy. His lucky and sometimes controversial career included surviving the sinking of HMS Royal George in 1782, making the first conquest of the tricolour flag in 1793 and the last in 1815, and having two enemy ships surrender to him at Trafalgar. A Scot distantly related to Lord Barham, Durham entered the Navy in 1777, serving initially on the American and West Indies stations. He was Kempenfelt's signal officer on HMS Victory during the second battle of Ushant in 1781 and on the Royal George. Making his reputation initially as the daring young master and commander of HMS Spitfire early in the French Revolutionary War, he became a crack frigate captain with a fortune in prize money, and commanded HMS Defiance at Trafalgar, where he was wounded. He ended his war service as Commander-in-Chief, Leeward Islands. En voyage he artfully captured two brand-new French frigates which were subsequently taken into the service of Britain, and during his tenure he won the heartfelt gratitude of local merchants by ridding the surrounding seas of American privateers preying on British trading vessels. True to form, he clashed with the judge of the Vice-Admiralty Court on Antigua and with the general with whom he led a combined naval and military assault on Martinique and Guadeloupe following Napoleon's escape from Elba. He later served as Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth having resigned his parliamentary seat to do so. Married first to the sister of the Earl of Elgin, of 'Marbles' fame, and secondly to a cousin of 'sea wolf' Lord Cochrane, he was well-known to George III, who as a result of Durham's amusing yet improbable anecdotes, dubbed any tall tale he heard 'a Durham'. This collection of his papers consists mainly of letters and despatches relating to his service in the Channel Fleet, the Mediterranean, and the Leeward Islands. Correspondence with his parents during 1789–1790 reflects his anxieties relating to employment and prospects for promotion when he was a young lieutenant with an illegitimate child to support. The collection, featuring items from and to him, comprises a fascinating and informative set of documents.
