3 november 1849) was a prominent british royal navy officer of the early nineteenth century. although he served in several celebrated naval actions of the french revolutionary and napoleonic wars his most important achievements were made while serving as a lord of the admiralty, pioneering the science and instruction of rapid and accurate gunnery in the royal navy through training facilities and manuals. in addition to his work at the admiralty, pechell served in the house of commons for two constituencies and was on good terms with king william iv, who supported his efforts to improve standards of gunnery and returned him to the admiralty in 1839 after a five-year absence caused by his support for the whig government. in 1826 he inherited the pechell baronetcy from his father, but died childless and the title passed to his brother george. pechell was born in ireland in 1785, the son of sir thomas brooke pechell and his wife charlotte. pechell was well connected in military circles: his father was a senior army officer, as were both his grandfathers, sir paul pechell and sir john clavering. his uncle was john borlase warren, later to become a senior royal navy officer. his younger brother, george pechell would also become a prominent naval officer. aged 11, pechell joined the royal navy under the guidance of his uncle, joining hms pomone in 1796 during the french revolutionary wars. the following year he moved to hms phoebe, commanded by captain robert barlow and there remained for the next four years. under barlow, pechell was involved in two significant frigate actions, when phoebe captured the french frigate néréide at the action of 21 december 1797 and then the africaine at the action of 19 february 1801. for his actions in these engagements, pechell was highly praised and promoted, following barlow into hms triumph in the aftermath of the africaine action and then moving to hms active during the peace of amiens in 1803 as a lieutenant. in january 1806, pechell joined his uncle's flagship hms foudroyant and was present at the defeat of the french squadron under admiral charles linois at the action of 13 march 1806. in april 1807, pechell was given his first independent command, in charge of the brig hms ferret operating from jamaica. in june 1808, he was promoted to post captain and took command of the frigate hms cleopatra, in which he joined the squadron being assembled at barbados for operations against the french islands of martinique and guadeloupe. it was while blockading the latter that he served in his most celebrated battle, the action of 22 january 1809. the french frigate topaze had been forced to take shelter under a gun battery off pointe-noire, guadeloupe, but had been spotted by pechell's blockade force. despite fire from the shore, pechell attacked immediately and brought cleopatra close inshore to engage topaze from close range. pechell's dispositions were so good that topaze was soon unable to respond, and the arrival of two other royal navy ships allowed him to bring his prize out of the bay successfully. the following month, cleopatra performed a supporting role in the successful invasion of martinique and later in the year the ship returned to european waters, pechell briefly moving to hms guerriere before returning to cleopatra in 1811, operating in the north sea and off gibraltar. in 1812, pechell became captain of warren's flagship hms san domingo, the flagship of the north america station during the war of 1812. pechell did not see any action and returned to britain in 1814. the following year the war ended and pechell entered semi-retirement, being made a companion of the order of the bath in 1815 for his services during the napoleonic wars. good condition. all autographs come with a certificate of authenticity. we combine postage on multiple winning lots and can ship worldwide. uk postage from £5.99, eu from £7.99, rest of world from £9.99"},"estimateMax":20,"lotNumber":"500","url":"https://uk.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/chaucerauctions/source/catalog/auction/54399/lot/192176/view","tags":["ukCollectibles_philately","ukCollectibles","ukCollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":18,"soldPrice":22,"lastUpdate":"2026-06-23T20:47:26.744Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"£18 -

1844). personally signed by sir john poo beresford, 1st bt. (1766-1844), admiral and conservative politician: mp for coleraine, berwick-upon-tweed, northallerton and chatham. this officer is a son of george, first marquis of waterford, k.p., and elder brother of lieutenant-general lord beresford, g.c.b. early in 1795, we find him commanding the lynx sloop of war, on the american station, where he captured la cocarde, a french corvette, of 14 guns and 80 men. on the 25th june, in the same year, he was promoted to the rank of post-captain, sometime previous to which he had been appointed to the hussar, of 34 guns, and assisted at the capture of la prevoyante, a large frigate, armed en flute, and la raison, pierced for 24 guns, but only 18 mounted. captain beresford's next appointment was to la prevoyante, and from her he removed, about the month of may, 1796, into la raison, the force of which latter vessel had been increased to 30 guns, with a complement of 195 men. on the 25th august following, he fell in with the vengeance, a large 18-pounder french frigate, from which he had the good fortune to escape, after a running fight of considerable duration, in which la raison had 3 men killed and 6 wounded, besides being much cut up in her sails and rigging. our officer subsequently commanded l'unité, of 38 guns, on the leeward islands station, where he captured the perseverance french privateer, of 16 guns and 87 men, feb. 2, 1800. from l'unité he removed into the diana, another fine frigate, in which he was present at the reduction of the islands of st. bartholomew, st. martin, by the forces under rear-admiral duckworth and lieutenant-general trigge, in the spring of 1801. on the renewal of hostilities in 1803, he obtained the command of the virginie, a frigate of the largest class; but that ship being paid off in aug. 1804, he was then appointed to the cambrian, of similar force, and sent to the halifax station, where, in the summer of 1805, he captured the following privateers; matilda, of 20 guns and 95 men; maria, of 14 guns and 60 men; and a schooner, of 6 guns and 70 men. in the spring of 1807, captain beresford commanded the illustrious, of 74 guns, off cadiz; and in the ensuing summer, the theseus, another third rate, employed in the blockade of rochefort. on the 21st feb. 1809, being off l'orient in company with three line-of-battle ships, he fell in with a french squadron, consisting of 8 sail of the line, one of them a three-decker; and by his spirited conduct, prevented them forming a junction with the ships in that port ready for sea. the enemy afterwards anchored in basque roads, where they were blockaded by rear-admiral stopford's squadron, of which the theseus formed a part until the month of april following, at which period an attack was made upon them in aix road, to which they had retired, by a division of lord gambier's fleet, preceded by some fire-vessels, under the command of lord cochrane, the result of which was the destruction of one 80-gun ship, two 74's, and one of 56 guns. several others, from getting on shore, if not rendered altogether unserviceable, were at least disabled for a considerable time. early in 1810, the subject of this sketch was appointed to the poitier's, a new 74, in which ship he served for some time on the lisbon station, and was then ordered to the coast of north america. he sailed from portsmouth, in company with sir john b. warren and squadron, aug. 14, 1812; previous to which he had acted as proxy for his brother, at an installation of the knights of the bath, and, as is usual on such occasions, received the honour of knighthood prior to the ceremony. on the 18th of october following, sir john p. beresford captured the american ship wasp, of 20 guns, and retook the british brig of war frolic, which had been taken by the former a few hours before, after a gallant action of fifty minutes[. the poitier's subsequently assisted at the capture of the herald letter of marque, mounting 10 guns, with a complement of 50 men, from bourdeaux bound to baltimore, with a cargo; the highflyer, american privateer, of 5 guns and 72 men; and the york-town, of 20 guns and 140 men. towards the latter end of 1813, the poictier's returned to england, and was put out of commission. at the general promotion, june 4, 1814, sir john p. beresford, who had been raised to the dignity of a baronet of great britain on the 7th of the preceding month, was advanced to the rank of rear-admiral, and soon after hoisted his flag in the bombay, of 74 guns, from which ship it was subsequently removed into the duncan, of the same force. about the same period he had the honour of kissing hands on being appointed a naval aid-de-camp to h.r.h. the prince regent, then on a visit, in company with the allied sovereigns, to the fleet at portsmouth. on the 12th aug. 1819, sir john p. beresford was nominated a k.c.b.; and early in the following year he hoisted his flag in the dover, of 28 guns, as commander-in-chief at leith. he has
