Collingwood Relief Refused

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. The Strait of Gibraltar. Not a likeness and not a letter.

Overview

The refusal is already on Collingwood Cuthbert — Biography. Government refused his repeated requests to be relieved on health grounds. He died at sea off Menorca, refused permission to come home.¹

The Refusal

This note covers that refusal only. A letter text, a request date, and a later memorial stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

Mediterranean Fleet 1805–10 already used the April 1806 command. Port Mahon — Menorca already used the 7 March 1810 death-place. Those sentences stay there. Do not invent a letter or a request date from this page. Sublime Porte diplomacy stays off.²
