William Loney RN - Background
|
|
The table below is intended to include all commissioned officers (that is, with the rank of Lieutenant or above) in command of a Royal Navy vessel between 1840 and 1860; also all such officers in command of the 200 odd unarmoured screw vessels listed here, throughout their career (in some cases into the 1880s). The data are derived from Navy Lists, William R. O'Byrne's "Naval Biographical Dictionary" (1849) and the "Naval Intelligence" column of the Times newspaper.
Follow the links in the first column for available biographic and career data. The fourth column is intended to show the highest substantive rank reached (thus not including "retired ..."); as the data are incomplete, however, some officers will have actually reached a higher rank. The fifth column gives the number of entries available for this officer.
For officers not shown here, try Paul Benyon's extensive list
