Picture of the day

Augustus Brine (1769–1840) as a midshipman in 1782. The son of Admiral James Brine, he joined the Royal Navy at age 13 and served on his father's ship during the American War of Independence. He was commissioned a lieutenant in 1790 and took his first command during the French Revolutionary Wars. Promoted to commander in 1798, he served at the Cape of Good Hope by 1798. His final combat engagement was in the Napoleonic Wars, when he commanded HMS Medway as flag captain to Vice-Admiral Charles Tyler.Painting: John Singleton Copley
