Sir Andrew Snape Hamond

HAMOND, Sir Andrew Snape, British naval officer, born in Blackheath, England, 17 December, 1738; died near Lynn, Norfolk, England, 12 October, 1828. He entered the British navy in 1753, served under Lord Howe, and became a post-captain in 1780. At the beginning of the Revolutionary war he joined the "Roebuck," a forty-four gun ship, was present at the occupation of New York, and destroyed the "Delaware" frigate and other vessels engaged in obstructing the Delaware river. He took part in the unsuccessful attack on Mud island in October, 1777, as also in the successful one in November of that year. He was knighted in 1778, acted as captain of the fleet at the reduction of Charleston, South Carolina, in 1780, and late in the year was appointed lieutenant-governor and commander-in-chief of Nova Scotia. He returned to England in 1783, was made a baronet on 18 December, of that year, became a comptroller in the navy in 1794, and retired in 1806 with a pension.
