Frederick Walpole (1822-1876) was a British naval officer, politician and father of Robert Walpole. Paraphrased from Hill and Howgego, Walpole served aboard the H.M.S. Collingwood, Flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour and the first British ship-of-the-line to enter the Pacific Ocean by Cape Horn since Anson in 1741 to establish a permanent British Pacific station. This was a four year tour of the Pacific Islands and North America to diplomatically offset the French influence in the Pacific. They arrived at Monterey, Mexican capital of Alta California, in July 1846, a few days after Commodore John Sloat raised the American Flag at the customs house and declared California part of the United States. Walpole's account of this cruise relates extensively to the Pacific coast of South America and also to Hawaii, Tahiti, and California.
