Description
Naval General Service 1793-1840, 1 clasp, Algiers (F. R. Coghlan, Lieut. R.N.) nearly extremely fine £2,200-£2,600 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Francis Rogers Coghlan entered the Navy in May 1807, as a Supernumerary aboard the Daedalus and, shortly afterwards, a Midshipman’s berth on board the Elk, commanded by his uncle Captain Jeremiah Coghlan, whose distinguished service was rewarded with a Companionship of the Bath. After service in Polyphemus and Hyperion he joined, early in 1812, the Caledonia, bearing the flag of Sir Edward Pellew, and witnessed a partial action with the French fleet off Toulon on 5 November 1813. Immediately after this he rejoined his uncle in the Alcmene and assisted at the capture of the French schooner La Flêche in December of the same year. Being promoted to a Lieutenancy in the Pylades on 18 April 1814, he sailed for the coast of North America, where he contributed to the capture of many of the enemy’s vessels and was employed in the blockade of Newport, Rhode Island. Having been paid off in July 1815, he joined the Minden on the eve of her departure for Gibraltar in July 1816. There, he assumed command of No. 23 gunboat in which he shared the glories of Algiers and ‘received the personal thanks of Lord Exmouth for Gun Boat service at Algiers’. On his return to England in the Queen Charlotte, Lord Exmouth’s flag-ship, he was appointed to the Prometheus until paid off in August 1818. His subsequent appointments were: to the command of the Hornet, on the South American station, in July 1832; to the Lapwing and Linnet Falmouth packets, on North American, West Indies and South American stations, in July 1837 and May 1841; and, in June 1843, of the Anson convict hulk, at Hobart Town. Coghlan was promoted Commander on the active list on 2 September 1843, and died in 1855 or ‘56. Sold with copied Memorandum of Services.
