Thomas Manby
Thomas Moore Manby (1 January 1769 – 13 June 1834) was a British naval officer who fought in the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars and later rose to the rank of rear admiral. He sailed with George Vancouver on his voyages of exploration, captained ''Bordelais'', ''Africaine'' and ''Thalia'', and was the chief suspect in the "delicate investigation" into the morals of Caroline, Princess of Wales.
==Childhood and early naval career==
Manby was born in the village of Hilgay on the edge of the Norfolk Fens. His father, Matthew Pepper Manby, was lord of the manor of Wood Hall in Hilgay and a former soldier and aide-de-camp to Lord Townshend. Manby's elder brother was George William Manby, the inventor of life-saving devices including the Manby mortar.
Lord Townshend arranged a position for the young Manby in the stationers of the ordnance department, but Manby dreamt of a life at sea and at the age of 14 resigned his post and embarked as a midshipman on board the 24-gun . After two years on the Irish station he joined and sailed to the Caribbean, returning on , and then served on the 74-gun .〔J. Marshall 1824 Thomas Manby, Esq.
