David Brodie (Royal Navy officer)
David Brodie (1709?-1787), was a captain in the Royal Navy. He commanded the Canterbury and the HMS ''Strafford'', and was fought at the Battle of Porto Bello, Battle of Santiago de Cuba (1748), and the Battle of Havana (1748).
==Early Career==
Brodie was one of a collateral branch of the Brodies of Brodie, after serving for many years, both in the navy and mercantile marine, was promoted to the rank of lieutenant on 5 October 1736. In 1739 he served under Vernon at Porto Bello, and in 1741 at Cartagena. On 3 May 1743 he was made commander, pointed to the Merlin sloop in the West Indies, and for about four years was repeatedly engaged with French and Spanish cruisers and privateers, several of which he captured and brought in. In one of these encounters he lost his right arm. Early in 1747 Rear-admiral Knowles appointed him acting captain of the Canterbury; but he was not confirmed in that rank until 9 March 1747-8, when, after the capture of Port Louis, he was appointed to HMS ''Strafford''.
In this ship he was present at the unsuccessful attempt on Santiago, and had a distinguished share in the battle of Havana on 1 Oct. 1748, when the one prize of victory, the Conquistador, struck to the ''Strafford''. In the courts-martial which followed Brodie's evidence told strongly against the admiral's accusers; he maintained that the admiral had done his duty throughout.
