SIR THOMAS COCHRANE Papers, 1840-49 Reels M948-70
AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT SIR THOMAS COCHRANE Papers, 1840-49 Reels M948-70 National Library of Scotland George IV Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1EW National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1976 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Thomas John Cochrane (1789-1872), who was born in Edinburgh, was the son of Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane (1758-1832) and his wife Maria. He entered the Royal Navy in 1796 as a volunteer on HMS Thetis, commanded by his father. He was made a lieutenant in 1805 and became a captain within a year. He served in the West Indies in 1807-9, taking part in the capture of the Virgin Islands and Martinique, and in North America in 1811-14. From 1820 to 1824 he commanded HMS Forte on the North America Station. In 1825 Cochrane was appointed the first governor of Newfoundland. After representative government was introduced in 1832, his relations with the colonists worsened and he was eventually recalled by the Colonial Office in 1834. He was a member of the House of Commons from 1839 to 1841. Cochrane was made a rear-admiral in 1841 and in 1842 he was appointed second in command of the East Indies Station. Based in Hong Kong, which had become a British colony following the 1839-40 Opium War, the East Indies Station extended from the Red Sea in the west to the Philippines and New Zealand in the east. When Admiral Sir William Parker returned to England in 1844, Cochrane succeeded him as commander-in-chief. At the same time, the Station was divided into two divisions, with the western (Indian Ocean) division headed by Commodore Sir Henry Blackwood and the China division headed by Cochrane. -

Traditional histories of the Royal Navy in the Caribbean have focused on operational matters, producing narratives that neglect examination of the navy as a socio-cultural force in the region. This thesis aims to address this imbalance by focusing on the navy as a unique social group with multiple roles, which was a constant presence in the Caribbean during a particularly turbulent period at the height of the sugar industry. -
