Francis Hosier

Vice Admiral Francis Hosier (1673–1727) was a British naval officer. He was lieutenant in Rooke's flagship at the Battle of Barfleur in 1693. He captured the Heureux off Cape Clear in 1710 and distinguished himself in action with the Spanish off Cartagena in 1711. He is chiefly remembered, however, for his role in the failure of the Blockade of Porto Bello, for which poor Government orders were largely responsible, during which he died of disease with thousands of his sailors.
==Career==

Hosier was the son of the Clerk of the Cheque (and Muster-Master) to Samuel Pepys who lived at the foot of Crooms Hill, Greenwich. A certain Francis Hosier was the Storekeeper at Deptford in 1684, earning a salary of £305, the highest paid at the Depot.〔 (no ref to document provided)〕 He became a lieutenant in the navy in 1692, when he was appointed to the ''Winchelsea'', a 32-gun new frigate, after being in that station on board different ships for four years.
Captain Francis Hosier was only 26 years old in 1699, when he arranged for the Greenwich residence today known as The Ranger's House to be built,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ecohost Ltd )〕 by which time he had commanded only one ship, the Winchelsea, of 74 guns. In 1710, he was appointed captain of the ''Salisbury'' upon a cruise off Cape Clear when, by falling in with a 6-gun French ship he was able to capture the French vessel which was then renamed the ''Salisbury's Prize'' and taken into service.
In 1719, he was appointed second captain of the ''Dorsetshire'', advanced to be rear-admiral of the white squadron, and afterwards promoted to be vice-admiral of the blue, but the fleet was ordered to be dismantled before it was put to the sea. In 1720, he was appointed second captain of the ''Dorsetshire'' with the honorary rank of rear-admiral of the blue squadron.〔Campbell, John, (''Naval history of Great Britain: including the history and lives of the British Admirals'' ), Vol. 4, p. 452, London 1818〕
After the War of the Spanish Succession, he was suspended as a suspected Jacobite until 1717, but became vice-admiral in 1723.
