Brave Benbow Bibliography: ISBN 0-9692991-0-9 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG CARD NUMBER: 87-670036 e-Edition 2017 www.bravebenbow.com [email protected] Victoria, BC, Canada Preface Once upon a time, my father told me a tale of a renowned ancestor, an Admiral in the British Navy, who was part pirate and part hero, who had fought bravely on the Spanish Main, captured many enemy ships and died in a famous battle in the West Indies, in the midst of a mutiny. This family legend has led me on two quests, to search for my roots and to find Admiral Benbow. William A. Benbow Victoria, B.C. June 1988. ADMIRAL JOHN BENBOW Benbow! On the roll of fame Thine stands forth a honoured name; Britain mourned her gallant son, Wilst recounting trophies won; England’s Queen with pity moved Mourned the hero England loved. Many a year has passed since then, Many a race of gifted men: Heroes, statesmen, princes, kings, Borne on Time’s relentless wings In their turn have passed away, Mingling with their kindred clay. Yet the memory of the brave Dies not with the opening grave, But like some sweet perfume cast Lives, all fragrant, to the last.

  • Captains of Hms Ajax 1 John Carter Allen
    CAPTAINS OF HMS AJAX 1 JOHN CARTER ALLEN: CAPTAIN OF HMS AJAX from 27 MAY 1770 to 6 JUNE 1771 and from JUNE to 23 AUGUST 1779 John Carter Allen was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 14 June 1745 and to that of Commander on 15 April 1757. He was appointed to the Grampus sloop in command, and towards the end of the same year captured a large privateer. He was soon after posted to a large 6th-rate on the Mediterranean station. He was promoted to the rank of Post Captain on 21 March 1758, and appointed to the Experiment, but in August 1760, he was transferred to the Repulse frigate on the Halifax station, and took part, under Mr Byron, in the attack and destruction of three French frigates and a considerable number of small craft in Chalem Bay. The Repulse then joined the West India fleet, and continued on that station until the end of hostilities. In 1763 the Repulse was laid-up. John Allen did not hold any further commissions until May 1770, when he was appointed to the Ajax, 74. This was the ship's first commission, and she, together with the Ramillies, Defence, Centaur, and Rippon, 74's, embarked the 30th Regiment of Foot at Cork and transported them to Gibraltar. Soon after the Ajax was laid-up, and it was not until 1777 that Captain Allen was appointed to the Albion, and in the following year to the Egmont. When the Channel Fleet returned from Ushant, he once more assumed command of the Ajax, refitting at Portsmouth.

Havant History Booklet No. 54 View, comment, and order all booklets at: hhbkt.com Edited by Ralph Cousins 2 Bedhampton, Havant and the Royal Navy (and the Lost Admirals of Leigh Park) Steve Jones Havant, a small coastal town in its own right, has always had close connections with the navy, and its larger neighbour Portsmouth, the home of the Senior Service. From supplying Portsmouth and the navy with cider in the 17th and early 18th centuries through to being the home of several naval establishments during the Second World War, Havant has always played its part in supporting the navy. Even today Portsmouth dockyard, though not with the volume it once was, is a leading employer to the people of the Havant area. With local hi-tec firms such as Lockheed Martin Havant still plays its part in supporting the navy. Because of its close proximity to Portsmouth it is not surprising that many a naval officer chose Havant and its neighbourhood for their homes. Men of the calibre of Admiral Sir John Acworth Ommaney of Warblington House, Emsworth Road, Admiral Sir James Stirling of Belmont Park, Bedhampton, and Vice-Admiral Charles Norcock of Sherwood, East Street, have all at one time chosen to live in Havant.

  • Admiral Arthur Phillip.Pdf
    Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N. (1738 – 1814) A brief story by Angus Ross for the Bread Street Ward Club, 2019 One of the famous people born in Bread Street was Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N, the Founder of Australia and first Governor of New South Wales (1788-1792). His is a fascinating story that only recently has become a major subject of research, especially around his naval exploits, but also his impact in the New Forest where he lived mid-career and also around Bath, where he finally settled and died. I have studied records from the time Phillip sailed to Australia, a work published at the end of the 19c and finally from more recent research. Some events are reported differently by different observes or researchers so I have taken the most likely record for this story. Arthur Phillip in later life His Statue in Watling Street, City of London I have tried to balance the amount of detail without ending up with too long a story. It is important to understand the pre-First Fleet Phillip to best understand how he was chosen and was so well qualified and experienced to undertake the journey and to establish the colony. So, from a range of accounts written in various times, this story aims to identify the important elements of Phillip’s development ending in his success in taking out that First Fleet, made up primarily of convicts and marines, to start the first settlement. I have concluded this story with something about the period after he returned from Australia and what recognition of his life and achievements are available to see today.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. Wliile the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
