⁄8 in. (4.7cm.)
Commander Henry Lowcay (1764-1849) enjoys a good description in O’Byrne’s Naval Biographical Dictionary, published the year he died. He entered the navy as a midshipman in 1791 and almost immediately enjoyed a lively naval career, present at the capture of many vessels and was also aboard the Juno when she effected her daring escape from Toulon in 1794, and served alongside Nelson at Santa Cruz and Tenerife. Aboard the Culloden at the Nile, he was able to witness the action without further involvement as this vessel was stranded on a shoal and acted as a marker for the following ships. Subsequently he was employed on blockade, and retired on half pay from October 1813.
