Default Re: Mr Tony Mead
Hello tmead and welcome to the Forum. Your grandfather will have been classed as a Rating. He will have worked his way up to Petty Officer, firstly as a Stoker, then as a Leading Stoker before reaching Petty Officer rank.

Jim

Smile Re: Mr Tony Mead
Thank you Jim, my grandfather served 10yrs in the royal navy 1883-1893,
Then signed on in 1901 RNR again 1905, in 1910 to take him up to 1916, saw service at scope flow 1914-1916 HMS Crescent then was pensioned off through heart disease. I have his RN seaman’s record that shows this, but would there be another record document for his RNR service and hopefully his long service medal
regards
Tony.

Captain Charles Vane was born in 1680, and was an English pirate who preyed upon English and French shipping. Vane began piracy in 1716 and lasted 3 years. Vane captured a Barbados sloop and then a large 12-gun brigantine, which he renamed the Ranger. Vane was among the pirate captains who operated out of the Bohama at the notorious base at New Providence after the colony had been abandoned by the British. His pirate attacks made Captain Charles Vane well known to the Royal Navy and in February of 1718 Vincent Pearse, commander of HMS Phoenix cornered Vane on his ship the Lark. Vane had heard of the recent royal pardons that had been offered to pirates in exchange for a guarantee they would quit plundering, so Vane claimed he had actually been en route to surrender to Pearse and accepted the pardon on the spot, Charle Vane gained his freedom but as soon as he was free of Pearse he ignored the pardon and resumed his pirate ways. Charles Vane was again captured and in 1721 was executed by hanging at Gallows Point, Port Royal, Jamaica on March 29th 1721.
