He became a junior flag officer in the Channel fleet from 1801 until the Peace of Amiens and on renewal of war in 1803 served in the North Sea under Keith and Gardner, before doing three years in the Mediterranean under Collingwood, 1806-1809. His last service was as commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, 1815-1818.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the distinguished Admiral Sir Edward Thornborough in all his glory, painted by the talented artist Samuel Lane in 1821. The three-quarter-length depiction showcases Thornborough in his full-dress uniform, complete with the prestigious ribbon and star of the GCB.
Born in 1754, Thornborough's naval career spanned nearly sixty years, a remarkable feat that set him apart from his peers. His journey began at a young age when he first went to sea as a 'captain's servant' aboard the 'Arrogant', where his father served as first lieutenant.
Throughout his illustrious career, Thornborough rose through the ranks to become Admiral of the Red, showcasing exceptional leadership and dedication to duty. From serving in the Channel fleet during times of war to commanding fleets in the Mediterranean under Collingwood, Thornborough left an indelible mark on British naval history.
In this portrait, Lane expertly captures Thornborough's steely gaze and commanding presence, reflecting both his authority and experience on the high seas. Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this painting serves as a timeless tribute to one of Britain's most esteemed naval officers.
