An exception to this rule was that a very junior post-captain could be posted to command an admiral's flagship, which was almost always a large ship of the line. Their names are Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, and their creator is a year-old novelist named Patrick O'Brian, whose 14 books about them have been continuously in print in England since the first, "Master and Commander," was published in What is it, Maturin?

No, sir, he would not. Once an officer was promoted to post-captain, further promotion was strictly by seniority; if he could avoid death or disgrace, he would eventually become an admiral even if only a yellow admiral. Library Journals Review. He does not have enough ships at hand. For a moment all the certainties of his world quivered - he caught a dumbfounded, appalled glance from the master - and then with a sigh from the masts and stays, the strangest straining groan, the Polychrest's motion passed through a barely perceptible immobility to headway. He himself at this moment was thinking in terms of scent. See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus. Maturin takes no pay for his intelligence work, but he does ask a favour: that Lively be included in the squadron sent to intercept the Spanish. Post Captain. The Spanish convoy refuses to surrender, and battle breaks out. Name required. Scratch-scratch, gasp-gasp. A commander wore a single epaulette on the left shoulder. One example of an admiral appointing a junior post-captain to command his flagship in this way is the appointment of Alexander Hood to the command of HMS Barfleur , flagship of his brother, Admiral Sir Samuel Hood. She puts her horse over a fence, which distracts Jack for a moment and gives his discontented horse a chance to try to shake him. Universal Conquest Wiki.

  • The Aubrey-Maturin Chronicles: Master and Commander / Post Captain / Hms Surprise Volume 1 Ebook
    FREETHE AUBREY-MATURIN CHRONICLES: MASTER AND COMMANDER / POST CAPTAIN / HMS SURPRISE VOLUME 1 EBOOK Patrick O'Brian,Robert Hardy | 9 pages | 01 May 2009 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007319305 | English | London, United Kingdom The Ships of Jack Aubrey Like any stout-hearted Royal Navy midshipman or lieutenant, Jack Aubrey hungered for glory and for command of a ship. Indeed, the two were vitally connected, for the first was a path to the second and the latter -- with luck -- could bring the former. In the very first chapter of the first volume in Patrick O'Brian's magnificent series of novels about Jack Aubrey and his friend Stephen Maturin, Aubrey obtained his first real command on April 19, And glory followed. This web page explores all of Jack Aubrey's vessels from the small sloop-of-war HMS Sophie of which he takes command at the beginning of Master and Commander through more than a dozen other sloops, frigates and ships-of-the-line until we leave him in The Final, Unfinished Voyage of Jack Aubrey on the ship-of-the-line Suffolk, having raised his flag as rear admiral. And for any who might protest at the imprecision in the title of this page, the Sophie being only a brig and thus not truly a ship by the definition of the sea, I must fall back upon the sage words of that eminent nautical authority, Stephen Maturin: "Let us not be pedantical, for all love! For more than a decade I have been an avid fan of the nautical novels of Patrick O'Brian, an enthusiasm growing out of my long-standing interest in naval warships of the "Age of Fighting Sail" perhaps first sparked by childhood visits to "Old Ironsides".

  • Admiral Cornelis Evertsen
    THE MAN WHO TOOK BACK NEW NETHERLAND Cornelis Evertsen the Youngest, 1642- 1706 By Peter Douglas Anyone searching for information about Cornelis Evertsen must be careful; there are three seventeenth century Dutch admirals with this name, and they are all related. Our interest lies in Cornelis Evertsen the Youngest (1642-1706). He was the second son of Admiral Cornelis Evertsen the Elder (1610-66), nephew of Admiral Johan Evertsen (1600-66), and cousin of the latter’s son, Admiral Cornelis Evertsen the Younger (1628-79), with whom he is often confused. Cornelis was thus a member of a distinguished dynasty of naval heroes, though evidently one with little imagination when it came to naming babies. His nickname was Keesje de Duivel, or “Little Cornelis the Devil,” both for his bravery and for being ever in the thick of a fight, as well as for his hot-tempered and cantankerous nature. Like a surprising number of Dutch admirals, including De Ruyter, Cornelis was born in Vlissingen, and had already had experience on his father’s ship by age ten. When the Second Anglo-Dutch War broke out in 1665 he became a privateer, and it wasn’t long THE MAN WHO TOOK BACK NEW NETHERLAND Cornelis Evertsen the Youngest, 1642- 1706 before an encounter with three enemy ships led to his capture. Because of his famous father and uncle he received special treatment and came to the attention of the King Charles’ brother James, Duke of York, then Lord High Admiral. Samuel Pepys’ diary records what happened when James met Cornelis on April 17: “And Everson, when he was brought before the Duke of Yorke, and was observed to be shot through the hat, answered, that he wished it had gone through his head, rather than been taken.” Luckily for his country, the ball had only gone through his hat.

  • 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.

    F E B R U A R Y - 2 0 2 0 PRESERVATION EDUCATION RESEARCH INSPIRE Dear Member: A huge thanks to everyone who attended our all day In-Depth Seminar on “Neanderthals & Early Humans”. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did putting it on. Now the Board has to figure on how we top it next year! This month we are featuring Dr. Thomas Pluckhahn of University of South Florida. He is going to tell us about his recent excavations at the Safety Harbor Site in Tampa. Come join us on the 19th. Don’t forget your dues are now due. Previously membership dues were collected on your anniversary date, but this has proven very hard to administer. So with that in mind, the Board changed the procedure so that all member- ship dues will be due in January. Thank you for being a Time Sifters member. Darwin “Smitty” Smith, President [email protected] February 19, 6:00 PM - Selby Library, 1331 First St., Sarasota Remembering Tocobaga: Recent Archaeology at the Safety Harbor Site in Tampa Bay Dr. Tom Pluckhahn Professor, University of South Florida The Safety Harbor site is widely recognized as the probable location of the native town of Tocobaga, where Spanish Governor Pedro Menéndez de Avilés established a short-lived mission-fort in the 1560s. It later became the location for the plantation owned by one of the area’s most legendary settlers, “Count” Odet Philippe. Philippe is said to have been a childhood friend of Napoleon. He was the first European settler of Pinellas County, the first to cultivate citrus in Florida, and the first to introduce cigar rolling to Tampa Bay; generally omitted from such tall tales is the fact that he was slave owner of likely Afro-Caribbean heritage.
