Admiral
Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, 1st Marquess of Maranhão,
GCB
,
ODM
(14 December 1775 – 31 October 1860), styled Lord Cochrane between 1778 and 1831,
[1]
[2]
was a Scottish naval
flag officer
and
radical
politician.
He was a daring and successful
captain
of the
Napoleonic Wars
, leading the French to nickname him
Le Loup des Mers
('The Sea Wolf').
He was dismissed from the
Royal Navy
in 1814, following a conviction for fraud on the Stock Exchange and he then served in the rebel navies of Chile, Brazil and Greece during their respective wars of independence.
In 1832, he was pardoned and reinstated in the
Royal Navy
with the rank of
Rear Admiral of the Blue
. After several further promotions, he died in 1860 with the rank of
Admiral of the Red
, and the
honorary title
of
Rear-Admiral of the United Kingdom
.
His life and exploits served as one source of inspiration for the naval fiction of nineteenth and twentieth-century novelists, particularly
C. S. Forester
's
Horatio Hornblower
and
Patrick O'Brian
's
Jack Aubrey
.

Family
Cochrane's father Archibald Cochrane, 9th Earl of Dundonald.
Thomas Cochrane was born at Annsfield, near
Hamilton
,
South Lanarkshire
,
Scotland
, the son of
Archibald Cochrane, 9th Earl of Dundonald
and Anna Gilchrist. She was the daughter of Captain James Gilchrist and Ann Roberton, the daughter of Major John Roberton, 16th
Laird
of Earnock
.
[3]
Cochrane had six brothers. One was Major William Erskine Cochrane of the 15th
Dragoon Guards
, who served with distinction under
Sir John Moore
in the
Peninsular War
. Another was Captain
Archibald Cochrane
.
Cochrane was descended from lines of Scottish aristocracy and military service on both sides of his family. Through his uncle,
Admiral Sir Alexander Forrester Inglis Cochrane
the sixth son of the 8th Earl of Dundonald, Cochrane was cousin to his namesake Sir
Thomas John Cochrane
who also enjoyed a distinguished naval career
[4]
and became
Governor
of
Newfoundland
and later
Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom
. The family fortune had been spent by 1793 and the family estate was sold to cover debts.

[Early life
ِadmiral Cochrane bust in Culross
Cochrane spent much of his early life in
Culross
, Fife, where his family had an estate. There is now a bust in his honour outside the Culross Town House.
Through the influence of his uncle,
Alexander Cochrane
, he was listed as a member of the crew on the books of four Royal Navy ships starting when he was five years old.This common, though unlawful practice (called false muster), was a means of acquiring the years of service required for promotion, if and when he joined the Navy. His father secured him a commission in the
British Army
at an early age, but Cochrane preferred the Navy, which he joined in 1793 upon the outbreak of the
French Revolutionary Wars
On 23 July 1793, aged 17, Cochrane joined the navy as a midshipman, spending his first months at Sheerness in a
sixth-rate
frigate
, the 28-gun
HMS
Hind
, commanded by his uncle, Captain
Alexander Cochrane
.
[7]
He then transferred to the 38-gun
fifth rate
HMS
Thetis
, also under his uncle's command. While on the
Thetis
he visited Norway then served at the North America station.
[8]
There, in 1795, he was appointed
acting
lieutenant
. The following year, on 27 May 1796, he was commissioned lieutenant, after passing the examination.
[8]
After several transfers in America and a return home, he found himself as 8th Lieutenant on
Lord Keith's
flagship
HMS
Barfleur
in the Mediterranean in 1798.
