About Charles Napier
Admiral Sir Charles John Napier was a British naval officer and politician who served for sixty years in the Royal Navy, seeing action in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, War of 1812, Syrian War and Crimean War. For a period he also commanded the Portuguese Navy during the Liberal Wars. An innovator concerned with the development of ironclads, and an advocate of human reforms in the Royal Navy, Napier was also active in politics as a Liberal Member of Parliament and was probably the naval officer most widely known to the public in the early Victorian era.
