== Early career ==
Herbert was born in County Kerry, Ireland, in February 1793 as the second son of Richard Thomas Herbert, esquire of Cahirnane, County Kerry (where the Herbert family had been seated since the reign of King Charles II), and his wife Jane, daughter of Anthony Stoughton, esquire of Ballyhorgan.〔O'Byrne, William R. (1849). ''(A Naval Biographical Dictionary )''. John Murray. pp. 500–501.〕〔Laughton, J. K.. "Herbert, Sir Thomas (1793–1861), rev. Roger Morris". ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (2004 ed.). Oxford University Press. . Accessed 11 April 2010.〕 Among his ancestors was Sir Richard Herbert of Coldbrook, who was beheaded with his brother William, Earl of Pembroke at Banbury the day after the Battle of Edgecote Moor on 26 July 1469.〔
Herbert joined the Royal Navy on 23 July 1803 as a first-class volunteer on board HMS ''Excellent'' under Captain Frank Sotheron. In that ship, he went to the Mediterranean and was invested with the rating of midshipman on 1 January 1804. After assisting in the defence of Gaeta and the capture of Capri in 1806, he moved to HMS ''Blonde'' under Captain Volant Vashon Ballard, whom he accompanied to the West Indies Station, where he witnessed the reduction of the Danish West Indies and contributed to the capture of five privateers carrying 58 guns and 515 men. On 1 August 1809, as a reward for his conduct as prize-master of ''L'Alert'', containing 20 guns and 149 men, Herbert was nominated by Sir Alexander Cochrane to Lieutenant in his flagship HMS ''Neptune'' on the recommendation of Ballard. He was officially promoted on 10 October.〔
