What an interesting life... he saw naval action from the Mediterranean
to Peru in the service of various countries! He was also very
progressive politically, and something of a tinkerer/inventor. The
first book of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturan books is lifted straight
from Cochrane's first command.
I've been reading a lot of naval history books lately for whatever
reason. Probably time to move on to another subject!
