Sir William Parker, 1st Baronet, of Harburn

Admiral Sir William Parker, 1st Baronet (1 January 1743 – 31 October 1802), was a British naval commander.
==Naval career==
Parker's father, Augustine Parker, had been mayor of Queenborough and a commander of one of the king's yachts.〔(Sir William Parker at Oxford Dictionary of National Biography )〕 William Parker entered the navy about 1756 and in 1758 was on during the capture of Louisbourg and the capture of Quebec the following year.〔 He was promoted to lieutenant in 1762.〔 For a time he served off the coast of Newfoundland and was promoted to commander in 1763.〔 In 1777 he went to the West Indies where he served under Byron.〔 He served aboard various ships and as commodore and commander-in-chief on the Leeward Islands station.〔 During the 1790s he served under Admiral Lord Howe.〔 In 1794 he commanded at the Battle of The Glorious First of June and was promoted to Rear-Admiral.〔 After service on the Jamaica Station in 1796,〔Cundall, p. xx〕 he took part under Sir John Jervis in the Battle of Cape St Vincent in 1797, where he damaged the 112-gun ship ''San Josef'' so badly that Commodore Horatio Nelson was able to board and capture her with little opposition.〔 The following year Parker, on blockade duty off Cadiz, bitterly resented that Nelson, junior to himself, was given an independent command in the Mediterranean, but his letters to the Admiralty had no effect.〔 He ended his career as Commander-in-Chief in North America at Halifax, Nova Scotia from 1800, and was recalled for disobeying orders.〔
