翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Sir Isaac Coffin, 1st Baronet ： ウィキペディア英語版 Sir Isaac Coffin, 1st Baronet Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, 1st Baronet GCH (16 May 1759 – 23 July 1839) was an officer of the Royal Navy who served during the American War of Independence and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Coffin was born in Boston and served in the navy on a number of ships during the War of Independence. He fought at Cape Henry with Arbuthnot and at St. Kitts with Hood, eventually being promoted to command a number of small ships on the American coast. Despite his rise through the ranks, he clashed occasionally with the naval hierarchy, with the first incident occurring while still a newly commissioned commander aboard . An incident over unqualified lieutenants led to his court-martial, though he was acquitted. A more serious incident occurred after the end of the war with America, when Coffin was particularly active off the Canadian coast. A charge was brought of issuing false musters, and though the practice was endemic in the navy, led to his dismissal from the ship. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Howe, then intervened to have him dismissed from the navy entirely, a decision that was later overturned by an inquiry, which set an important precedent. Restored to his rank, Coffin commanded several ships during the opening years of the wars with France, but the recurrence of an old injury forced him to move ashore. He spent the rest of the war commanding a number of dockyards, continuing to rise through the ranks, and being created a baronet for his good service. Retiring from active naval service towards the end of the Napoleonic Wars Coffin briefly changed his surname to Coffin-Greenly〔(Henry. A Memoir of General John Coffin. Reading, England?: S.n., 1860. Print. )〕 before reverting it, entered politics, and died with the rank of admiral in 1839. ==Family and early life== Isaac Coffin was born in Boston, Massachusetts on 16 May 1759, into what would prove to be a strong loyalist family. He was the fourth and youngest son of the paymaster of the customs in the port, Nathaniel Coffin. His father descended from Tristram Coffin, who immigrated to Massachusetts from Devon in 1642. His mother was Elizabeth, the daughter of the merchant Henry Barnes, of Boston. He attended the Boston Latin School. He first appeared on the books of the 74-gun as an able seaman in October 1771, while ''Captain'' was at Boston under the command of Captain Thomas Symonds, and is recorded as having transferred to the brig under Lieutenant William Hunter at Rhode Island in May 1773.〔 However it is more likely that he did not enter the service until October 1773, joining George Montagu, captain of .〔 Montagu was the son of Rear-Admiral John Montagu, then commander in chief on the North American station.〔 He later followed George Montagu aboard .〔 Coffin was commissioned lieutenant on 18 August 1776 while serving aboard the brig under Lieutenant Edmund Dod at Halifax, but was not able to take up the rank immediately.〔 Instead he joined the 50-gun as a midshipman in September 1776, the ''Romney'' then being at Newfoundland.〔 In June 1778 he moved aboard the 50-gun , still as a midshipman.〔 He finally received a posting as a lieutenant in October 1778, aboard the cutter .〔 He briefly served as a volunteer aboard Captain Thomas Pasley's ship , and from there moved in June 1779 to the armed ship ''Pincon'', serving on the Labrador coast.〔〔 The ''Pincon'' was wrecked in August 1779, and in November he was moved aboard the 50-gun under Captain Gideon Johnstone as her second lieutenant.〔 The ''Adamant'' was then being completed at Liverpool, with Coffin helping to oversee work. He was involved in a number of accidents during the final phases of work, but was able to get her ready to sail to Plymouth under a jury-rig by June 1780.〔 He went out with ''Adamant'' to North America the following month as a convoy escort, and in February 1781 transferred to the 90-gun , flagship of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Graves.〔 Coffin's time aboard ''London'' was brief, and in March he moved aboard the 74-gun , under Captain Swiney.〔〔 ''Royal Oak'' was the flagship of Vice-Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot at the Battle of Cape Henry on 16 March, and Coffin acted as Arbuthnot's signal lieutenant.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir Isaac Coffin, 1st Baronet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
