Biography
Sir Sidney Smith (1764-1840) entered the Royal Navy in 1777, distinguishing himself so fully in the American Revolution that at age 16, well below the required minimum age of 19, he was placed in command of the 74-gen Alcide. He fought with distinction at the Battle of the Chesapeake and the Battle of the Saintes, and was promoted to Captain of the HMS Fury.
