Richard John Strachan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sir Richard Strachan, 6th Baronet
Sir Richard John Strachan, 6th Baronet GCB (27 October 1760 – 3 February 1828) was a British officer of the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, eventually rising to the rank of admiral. Sir Dicky, as his friends referred to him, was the last Chief of Clan Strachan. The Baronetcy became dormant in 1854 as he died without male heir. ==Childhood== Strachan was born in Devon on 27 October 1760, the eldest son of Lieutenant Patrick Strachan RN and a daughter of Captain Pitman RN. His uncle was Sir John Strachan, fifth baronet. Strachan entered the Royal Navy in 1772 at the age of twelve, serving first aboard HMS ''Intrepid''. He sailed with ''Intrepid'' to the East Indies, before moving to HMS ''Orford'', then under the command of his uncle. He went on to serve in a number of different ships on the North American Station, first aboard HMS ''Preston'' under Commodore William Hotham, followed by HMS ''Eagle'', the flagship of Lord Howe.
