Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Stirling (1760-1833) was in action at Ushant (1794), Cape Finisterre (1805), the Rio de la Plata and the Anglo-American War of 1812. Court martialled in 1813 “for accepting payment for protecting foreign seamen”, his defence that he had acted on humanitarian grounds was not accepted and he was found guilty. His subsequent appeal was upheld and he was restored to flag rank but did not return to sea.
