About This Item
Given on board the Milford, St Georges Harbour, Lissa, 28 July 1812. 1 page 12 x 8 inches, in good clean condition. The Captain of HMS Neptune at Trafalgar. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Fremantle (1765-1819) served with Hood and Nelson in the Mediterranean, distinguishing himself at Toulon in 1795, Leghorn and Elba in 1796, and Santa Cruz in 1797, when he was severely wounded. In command of H.M.S. Ganges he took a full part in the Battle of Copenhagen (1804). In May 1805 he was appointed to H.M.S. Neptune, which was the third ship in the weather line at the Battle of Trafalgar, the Temeraire alone coming between her and the Victory. Fremantle later commanded in the Adriatic, capturing Fiume in 1813 and Trieste in 1814.
