Framed Print of The late Admiral Sir G. T. Phipps Hornby, 1895. Creator: Russell & Sons
The late Admiral Sir G. T. Phipps Hornby, 1895. British naval officer. At the age of twelve he entered the Navy, and his promotion was rapid, for in 1844 he was appointed to the Cleopatra, which had much to do with the suppression of the slave trade on the Cape station...He was Commander-in-Chief on the West Coast of Africa from 1865 to 1867 on board the Bristol...after becoming Vice-Admiral, [he] was made Commander-in- Chief in the Mediterranean in 1877...in 1881 he was chosen President of the Royal Naval College. He was Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth on board the Duke of Wellington from 1882 to 1885. His last command afloat was on the Minotaur during the manoeuvres of the Evolutionary Squadron in the summer of 1885. Towards the end of that year Sir Geoffrey retired, being created G.C.B. He retained the same keen interest in naval matters, and greatly impressed the German Emperor, to whom he acted as honorary aide-de-camp during his visit to Spithead in 1889. The Emperor invited Sir Geoffrey, who in the meantime had become Admiral of the Fleet, to witness the German naval manoeuvres in 1890, when he was accorded a most complimentary reception. He wrote an important work, entitled, "Squadrons of Exercise in the British Navy". From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
