KEPPEL |
Henry
(Sir) |
Admiral
of the Fleet, Royal Navy. Died 17th January 1904. Born 14th June
1809. Son of the 4th Earl of Albemarle and of his wife Elizabeth,
daughter of Lord de Clifford.
He
entered the navy from the old naval academy of Portsmouth in 1822.
He became lieutenant in 1829 and commander in 1833. His first command
was largely passed on the coast of Spain, which was then in the
midst of the convulsions of the Carlist War. Captain Keppel had
already made himself known as a good seaman. He was engaged with
the squadron stationed on the west coast of Africa to suppress the
slave trade.
In
1837 he was promoted post captain, and appointed in 1841 to the
service in China and against the Malay pirates, a service which
he repeated in 1847, when in command of HMS Maeander.
In
May 1853 he was appointed to the command of the new steam line-of-battle
ship HMS St Jean d'Acre. When the Crimean War broke out on 1854,
the St Jean d'Acre formed part of the Baltic Fleet. Keppel witnessed
the fall of Bomarsund. In 1855, St Jean d'Acre was sent to the Black
Sea. On 21 July 1855, Keppel swapped commands with the captain of
the sailing line-of-battle ship Rodney, whose crew was all ashore.
Keppel served as commander of the Naval Brigade which was besieging
Sebastopol.
After the Crimean War he was again sent out to China, this time
in command of the Raleigh, as commodore to serve under Sir M. Seymour.
The Raleigh was lost on an uncharted rock near Hong Kong, but three
small vessels were named to act as her tenders, and Commodore Keppel
commanded in them, and with the crew of the Raleigh, in the action
with Chinese pirates at the Battle of Fatshan Creek (June 1, 1857).
He was honourably acquitted for the loss of the Raleigh, and was
given command of HMS Alligator, which be held until his promotion
to rear-admiral. For his share in the action at the Battle of Fatshan
Creek he was made KCB.
The
prevalence of peace gave Sir Henry Keppel no further chance of active
service, but he became Commander-in-Chief, Cape of Good Hope and
West Coast of Africa Station in 1860, Commander-in-Chief, China
Station in 1867 and Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth in 1872.
He
retired from the active list in 1879, two years after he attained
the rank of admiral of the fleet.
Keppel married twice: firstly Katherine Louisa Crosbie, daughter
of General Sir John Crosbie on 25 February 1839 and secondly Jane
Elizabeth West, daughter of Martin John West on 31 October 1861.
By his second wife, he had one son, Colin Richard Keppel, and one
daughter, Maria Walpole Keppel, who married Admiral Sir Frederick
Tower Hamilton. Keppel Harbour in Singapore is named after him.
He lived at Grove Lodge at Winkfield Row in Berkshire and is buried
in the parish church at Winkfield.
Keppel's
relationship with Lady Eliza Lucy Grey was discovered by her husband
Sir George Grey in 1860, and this, together with accusations of
infidelity against Sir George Grey, led to the breakdown of their
marriage.
