EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Charles Brown, Naval Officer: Commander Under Admiral Vernon at Porto Bello, Subsequently Commissioned at Chatham Dockyard (circa 1753)" This evocative black-and-white portrait captures the stern yet resolute visage of Charles Brown, a dedicated and accomplished naval officer who served under the command of Admiral Edward Vernon during the Battle of Portobelo in 1739. The image, believed to have been taken around 1753, showcases Brown in his full naval regalia, complete with a tricorn hat adorned with a feather, a red waistcoat, and a pristine white shirt. Brown's naval career began in earnest under the tutelage of Admiral Vernon, who led a successful attack on the Spanish fortress city of Portobelo on the Caribbean coast of present-day Colombia. Brown's unwavering commitment and bravery during this pivotal moment in naval history earned him the respect and admiration of his superior officer. Following the Battle of Portobelo, Brown was commissioned at Chatham Dockyard, a testament to his growing reputation and expertise within the British naval ranks. The dockyard, located in the historic town of Chatham in Kent, England, was a hub of naval activity, and Brown's appointment there marked a significant milestone in his career. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a dedicated naval officer who played a crucial role in the annals of British maritime history. The image not only showcases Brown's military prowess but also serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination that defined the lives of those who served in the Royal Navy during the 18th century.
