Richard Vesey Hamilton

Admiral Sir Richard Vesey Hamilton, (28 May 1829 – 17 September 1912) was a Royal Navy officer. As a junior officer he twice volunteered to take part in missions to search for Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to find the Northwest Passage. He also took part in the Battle of Fatshan Creek in June 1857 during the Second Opium War. Later in his career he became Commander-in-Chief, China Station and took his fleet into Vladivostok harbour in 1886 and gave the Russians a surprise. He became First Naval Lord in July 1889 and in that role he was primarily concerned with implementing the recommendations contained in a report on the disposition of the ships of the Royal Navy many of which were unarmoured and together incapable of meeting the combined threat from any two of the other naval powers ("the Two-power Standard"): these recommendations had been enshrined in the Naval Defence Act 1889. He finished his career as President of the Royal Naval College, Greenwich.
==Early career==

Born the son of the Revd John Vesey Hamilton and his wife Frances Agnes Hamilton (née Malone), Hamilton was educated at the Royal Naval School in Camberwell and joined the Royal Navy in July 1843. He was posted to the sloop HMS ''Virago'' in the Mediterranean Fleet.〔 He volunteered to become a mate in the barque HMS ''Assistance'' which was despatched in 1850, under the command of Captain Erasmus Ommanney, on a mission to search for Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to find the Northwest Passage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=William Loney RN )〕 Promoted to lieutenant on 11 October 1851, he volunteered for a second mission this time in the barque HMS ''Resolute'' which was despatched in 1852, under the command of Captain Henry Kellett, in search of Franklin.〔 Resolute became stuck in the ice in the spring of 1854 and Kellett and his crew were ordered to abandon ship.〔Wallis, pp.74-75〕
Hamilton was given command of the gunboat HMS ''Haughty'' in February 1856 and took part in the Battle of Fatshan Creek in June 1857 during the Second Opium War. Promoted to commander on 10 August 1857, he was given command of the sloop HMS ''Hydra'' on the West Indies Station in June 1858.〔 Promoted to captain on 27 January 1862, he took command of the sloop ''Vesuvius'' on the West Indies Station in July 1862, then the sloop on the West Indies Station in 1865 and then the broadside ironclad ''Achilles'' on coast guard service at Portland in April 1870.〔 He became Commander of the Steam Reserve at Devonport in 1873 and captain-superintendent of Pembroke Dock in March 1875 and was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 29 May 1875.
