William Batten
Sir William Batten (c. 1600 – 1667) was an English naval officer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1661 to 1667. As Surveyor of the Navy, he was a colleague of Samuel Pepys, who disliked him and regularly disparaged him in his famous Diary.
==Early life==
Batten was the son of Andrew Batten of Somerset, master in the Royal Navy. In 1625 he was stated to be one of the commanders of two ships sent on a whaling voyage to Spitsbergen by the Yarmouth merchant Thomas Horth.〔Harris (1920), p. 52.〕 In August 1626 he took out letters of marque for the ''Salutation'' of London, owned by Andrew Hawes and others.〔Stephen and Leslie (1908), p. 1338.〕 He was master of the ''Salutation'' again in 1628,〔Calendar of State Papers, Domestic, Charles I, 1628-29.〕 and in April of the following year Batten, along with Horth and Hawes, was ordered by the Privy Council not to send up the ''Salutation'', now of Yarmouth, to "Greenland" (Spitsbergen), but they sent her and another ship up anyway.〔Conway (1906), pp. 144–45.〕 The ships of the Muscovy Company seized both ships at Spitsbergen and drove them away clean (empty).〔Register of the Privy Council of Scotland, Nov. 1629.〕 In 1630 he was master and part-owner of the ''Charles'' of London, and in 1635 was still serving as a master in the merchant service.〔Andrews (1991), p. 44.〕 In 1638 he obtained the post of surveyor of the Navy, probably by purchase.
