Collingwood Navy Entry — 1761

Generated illustration. Not a historical photograph. A sailing fleet. Not a named ship portrait and not a likeness.

Overview

The entry is already on Collingwood Cuthbert — Biography. He entered the Navy aged twelve in 1761 aboard HMS Shannon under his cousin Captain Richard Braithwaite.¹

The Entry

This note covers that 1761 entry only. A ship rate, a gun-count, and a later posting stay on RESEARCH_QUEUE.

Do not write Shannon as a rated ship. Royal Grammar School Newcastle already used the schooling sentence. George Collingwood — Hanged at Liverpool 1716 already used the 1716 hanging. HMS Helena — Brig is Hardy’s 1781 brig entry, not this one. Do not invent a Braithwaite life from the cousin phrase.²
