Samuel Greig
Samuel Greig, or Samuil Karlovich Greig (Самуил Карлович Грейг), as he was known in Russia (30 November 1736, Inverkeithing – 15 October 1788, Tallinn) was a Scottish-born Russian admiral who distinguished himself in the Battle of Chesma (1770) and the Battle of Hogland (1788). His son Alexey Greig also made a spectacular career in the Imperial Russian Navy.
==Early life==
He was born on 30 November 1736 in the village of Inverkeithing in Fife. Initially he was a seaman who worked on his father's ships before entering the Royal Navy before 1758 as a Master's mate.〔Cross, Anthony (August 2007) 'By the Banks of the Neva
Chapters from the Lives and Careers of the British in Eighteenth-Century Russia', Cambridge University Press, ISBN 9780521039031〕 He was present at naval engagements at the Capture of Gorée (1758), the Battle of Quiberon Bay (1759) and the Battle of Havana (1762). He was promoted to acting lieutenant in 1761 but the Royal Navy took several years to confirm this rank.〔
The court of Russia having requested the government of Great Britain to send out some British naval officers of skill to improve the marine of that country, lieutenant Greig had the honour of being selected as one. His superior abilities here also soon attracted the notice of the Russian government, and he was speedily promoted to the rank of captain.
