Liverpool widow’s ashes to be scattered on sunken submarine

A Liverpool family plan to spread their mum’s ashes over the site where the father she never knew is entombed in sunken submarine HMS M2.

Philip Treacy’s body has been sealed for 80 years inside the experimental submarine HMS M2, along with 57 other crew about three miles off Portland, in Dorset.

The surviving families of men killed in the mysterious peacetime submarine disaster now want to sail to the wreck to mark the 80th anniversary of the tragedy.

Philip “Jock” Treacy, who lived at Vronhill Street, in Toxteth, was just 26 when he died on board the HMS M2, which inexplicably sank on January 26, 1932.

He left behind his wife Alice, 25, and their 11-month-old twins Terry and Joan. Tragically Terry died of tuberculosis when he was 12.

Mr Treacy, a leading seaman and torpedo man, was home on leave for Christmas before rejoining the doomed submarine. Mrs Treacy died in 1976, having never re-married.

Her grand-daughter Eileen Glynn, of West Derby, said: “She did not speak much about Philip’s death and I was only a young teenager when she died.”

Joan married Ken Glynn at St Charles Church, Aigburth, in 1952, and Ken still lives in Garston. Joan died last year at the age of 80.

They had three daughters – Angela Roberts, 59, who lives in Speke; Margaret Glynn, 53, who lives in Allerton; and Eileen, 49, who lives in West Derby.

Eileen said: “We found a lot of clippings and photos after my grandmother died. She had letters of sympathy following the press reports of the accident.

“She also had a letter of condolence from someone in the Spanish royal family. My grandfather served in Malta and had his wedding banns read out in a church in Valetta.”

Joan wanted visit the sub’s wreck site where her dad died, but never achieved her wish.

Eileen said: “We plan to go there this year and we thought we should take some of her ashes and spread them over the area where her father is buried at sea.”

HMS M2 was found eight days after it went missing. The submarine incorporated a hangar containing a sea plane and one explanation for the tragedy is that the hangar door was opened too early, flooding the vessel.

The submarine, which sits intact on the seabed, is owned by MoD and protected under legislation as a war grave banning anyone from entering the vessel.

Several days later a letter from the Board with Tracey's original letter was returned to Phillimore with an addition by Tracey after Phillimore's approval requesting another ship.

I am currently conducting some research on a Master Andrew Tracey Royal Navy as I have recently bought some of his possessions and I wondered whether you have any further information on him or would be interested in seeing the items?

In the small collection there is a telescope engraved to "Mr Andrew Tracey RN", a small naval dirk with the initials AT inscribed in the handle and a hand written note signed by Admiral Charles Cotton stating that Master Andrew Tracey had provided good service on the ship HMS Majestic from March 1793 to March 1794.

I can find records of him being in the Royal Navy from 1777 up until the early 1800's and he seems to have been a man of some means by the time of his death in 1826 being described as Andrew Tracey Esq of Gascoyne Place, Plymouth. He was certainly drawing a naval pension still in 1816 and there is a memorial plaque to him that still exists in Charles Church in Plymouth but I imagine he had other sources of income by this later period.

After his death, his daughter married Lieutenant Colonel Elliott of the East India Company who himself was a significant land owner in Plymouth and served as a Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Devon.

I have found in the medal rolls (on Ancestry) for HMS Audacious around the time of the Battle of the Nile [1798] awards for Andrew Tracy as both AB (Able Bodied Seaman) and LM. Both he and his son Andrew were at sea so it is possible that these awards refer to his son (who also ended up as a Master Mariner according to his will).

jacky160 23-11-2010 http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/showthread.php/64600-All-at-sea

Thanks for your help . The man I am looking for gave his occupation as Mariner on his first marriage in 1765 and as Master in the Royal Navy on his second marriage in 1795 - so LM as a landsman does not make sense in 1794.

So further clarification of LM may enable me to stay at home rather than travel 200 miles to Kew and back.

Admiralty-Office, August 20, 1803.

Copy of a Letter from Sir James Saumarez K. B. Rear Admiral of the Blue, to Sir ssvan Nepean, Bart, doled on board His Majority’s Ship Diomede, at Guernsey, 15th August 1803.

Sir,

I herewith enclose a Letter I have this Day received from Captain Mundy, of His Majesty's Ship Hydra, giving an Account of the Capture of the French Armed Lugger Le Favori, by the Boats of the Ship under his Command, highly creditable to the Steadiness .and Bravery of Lieutenant Tracey, and the Officers and Men employed on that Service, and which I request you will please to lay before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty

I am, &c.

James Saumarez.

 

On August 1st [1803], having prevented a French armed lugger, the Farori, 4, from entering Le Havre, and forced her to haul close to the beach near the mouth of the Touque, Captain George Mundy, of the Hydra, 38, sent his boats under Lieutenant Francis M'Mahon Tracy and Midshipmen John Barclay and George French, to cut her out or destroy her. As they approached she was abandoned by her people, who, however, joined some troops and took station behind the sandbanks to cover her with their muskets. But in spite of their fire, the Favorl was carried off, the British losing no more than one man killed.

Describes a stay in Cape Town when the 'Melville' went to St. Helena and Tracey remained behind to look after the Admiral's family, the dockyard officers and men left behind from the 'Melville'. He comments on the social customs of Cape Town and the Malay Khalifah ceremony. Included are sketches of Farmer Peck's Inn, Muizenberg, called 'The Gentle Shepherd', Newlands House, Wynberg Church, Cape Flats and a water-colour of Simon's Town Martello Tower and Battery.

Published as A visit to Cape Town in 1838, ed. by A.M. Cunningham, Friends of the Library, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 1980.

Tracey joined the Royal Navy as a surgeon in 1831. He arrived on board HMS Melville at Simon's Bay on 7 March 1838. He remained at the Cape whilst the Melville visited St Helena, finally leaving for England on 6 December 1838. This is a record of his visit.

Henry Tracey, assistant surgeon aboard Melville, succumbed to dysentery in September 1840

Surgeons of The Opium War: The Navy on the China Coast, 1840–42

Death - On the 25th Sept., [1840] on board the Victoria transport, in Chusan anchorage, on the Coast of China, Mr. Henry Tracey, assistant-surgeon of H.M.S. Melville.

Mr. Henry Tracey, Assistant-Surgeon, alluded to in our Obituary, was carried off by a severe attack of dysentery, while attending, with his usual kindness and assiduity, such of the crew of H.S.M. Melville, as had from the ill state of their health been sent to the Victoria, (transport,) during the time of her heaving down. He was followed to his final resting place, on the island in the anchorage, by many, whose experience of his private and professional merit, both on the Cape of Good Hope and other stations, will render his loss a lasting source of melancholy reflection.

19th February 1841 The Welshman

In September last, on board H.M.S. Melville, in his 35th vear, Mr. Henry Tracey, of Llandilo. Mr. Tracey had discharged the duties of Surgeon in the Royal Navy for the last ten years, and during that period he most fully secured the favour of his superior officers, by uniform good conduct; the friendship and esteem of his equals by unvarying amiability, and the possession and exercise of those qualities that adorn the man; whilst his genuine benevolence of disposition, and assiduous attention to all in the hour of sickness, surrounded him with affection and respect. Few men of his years had a larger and warmer circle of friends once made, none were lost. To a dotingly fond parent, and his more immediate relations, his loss is irreparable; whilst all who have known him can, with ourselves, most truly say "take him for all in all, We shall not look upon his like again."

Content and context:

Henry Tracey (d. 1840) was born circa 1804, the son of George Tracey (d. 1826), an innkeeper, and his wife Grace, née Pellow (d. 1855). He was baptised in Uffculme Dissenting Chapel, Devon, on 23 October 1806, and spent his early life in Devon and Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire. Tracey was assistant ship's surgeon on, successively, the 'Cadmus', (1831), 'Donegal' (1832), 'San Josef' (1834), 'Pluto', a steam yacht (1835), and 'Malabar' (1836). His last posting was on the 'Melville' (1837), which was involved in the 1st Opium War, 1839-1842. Tracey died unmarried on 25 September 1840 while at sea off Chusan, China Coast.

Twenty-three prints of a notebook, including sketches, describing a visit to South Africa on H.M.S. 'Melville' in 1838.

The prints were taken from originals collected by Dr J.G. Gubbins in 1932 in his attempts to restore the Library of the University of the Witwatersrand, which had been destroyed by fire that year. They were presented to the R.C.S. by the University of the Witwatersrand Library Appeal Committee, 1933.

1808. On the 16th of January, in the forenoon, the British 14-gun brig Linnet, Lieutenant John Treacy, commander, being off Cape Barfleur, observed a large lugger in chase of a merchant ship and brig. Aware that the Linnet's sailing qualities were not of that nature which would enable her to close with the lugger except by stratagem, Lieutenant Treacy ably manoeuvred so as to join company with the merchant ships, and with them apparently endeavour to escape. At 6h. 30m. P.m., it being quite dark, the lugger, which was the Courier, of 18 guns and 60 men, closed with the merchant ship ; but as she was gallantly defended, the Courier was about to haul off. Just at this time, however, the Linnet arriving within musket-shot of the lugger, poured into her a well-directed broadside, accompanied by a volley of musketry, which fortunately cut away the Courier's main-lug halyards. The lugger was then hailed and ordered to surrender ; but instead of compliance, the mainhalyards were again bent, and the sail rehoisted. The Linnet accordingly re-opened her fire, and was so fortunate as to cut away the lugger's halyards no less than ten times. After continuing the running fight in this manner till 8h. 50m. P.m., the Courier, being in a sinking state, surrendered, having had her second officer killed and three men wounded ; but the Linnet sustained no loss whatever. The skill of Lieutenant Treacy was highly commendable.

John Tracey, Esq.

Was wounded, while serving as master's-mate, on board the Ardent 64, Captain R. R. Burgess, at the memorable battle of Camperdown, Oct. 11th, 1797 He obtained his first commission on the 6th Oct. 1800; and commanded the Princess Augusta, a small hired cutter, of eight guns and about thirty men, in an action with a French privateer, of fourteen guns and full of men, near the mouth of the river Tees, June 13th, 1804. During this engagement, which lasted nearly four hours, the Princess Augusta received several shot near the water's edge, and was much shattered in her rigging, but had not a man killed, and only three of her little crew wounded. The enemy sheered off on perceiving the approach of two small vessels, manned with sea-fencibles, from Redcar.

On the evening of the 3d Feb. 1804, four of the Centaur's boats, containing sixty seamen and twelve marines, under the orders of Lieutenant Robert Carthew Reynolds, assisted by Lieutenant Bettesworth, Mr. Boss, and Mr. John Tracey, secretary, were detached to attempt the capture of the French national brig Curieux, mounting 16 long 6-pounders, with a complement of 105 men, lying at anchor close under Fort Edward, at the entrance of the Carnage, Fort Royal harbour, Martinique, victualled for three months, and all ready for a start to sea.

On the 28th Jan. 1807, Lieutenant Tracey captured the Jena privateer, of four guns and thirty men. He also re-took her prize, a Prussian ship, aden with timber, and bound to London. In the course of the same year, he was removed from the Princess August into the Linnet brig, of fourteen guns and sixty men in which vessel he made the following captures:

Le Courier, of 18 guns and 60 men, taken off Cape Barfleur, after a running fight of an hour and forty minutes, during which she had her second captain killed, and three men wounded, Jan. 16th, 1808. Foiid- rot/ant, of 10 guns and 25 men, taken off Cherbourgh, Aug. 30th, 1808.

Petit Charles, 26 armed men on board, but with HO guns mounted, taken off the Start, May 29th, 1812.

On the 25th Feb. 1813, being then in the chops of the Channel, the wind blowing hard, Lieutenant Tracey had the misfortune to be captured by la Gloire, a French 40 gun frigate, returning from a two months' cruise. His conduct on this occasion is deserving of particular mention.

La Gloire, when first discovered, was to windward. Bearing up under her fore-sail and close-reefed main-top-sail, she arrived within hail of the Linnet at 2-30 P.M., and ordered her to strike. Instead of doing so, the brig boldly crossed the bows of the frigate, and, regardless of a heavy fire which the latter commenced, obtained the weather-gage. As la Gloire outsailed the Linnet on every point, all that Lieutenant Tracey could now do, was to endeavour to out-manoeuvre her. This he did by making short tacks; well aware that, owing to her great length, the frigate could not come about so quickly as a brig of less than 200 tons. In practising this manoeuvre, the Linnet had to cross the bows of la Gloire a second and a third time (the second time so near as to carry away the frigate's jib-boom), and was all the while exposed to her fire j but which, owing to the ill-direction of the shot from the roughness of the sea, did no great execution. At length, at 3-30 P.M., having succeeded in cutting away some of the Linnet's rigging, la Gloire got nearly alongside of her ; but Lieutenant Tracey would not yet haul down the British co- lours. The brig suddenly bore up athwart the hawse of the frigate ; and la Gloire, had she not as suddenly luffed up, must, as the French captain, Mons. Roussin, says, have passed completely over her. Two broadsides from la Gloire now carried away the bowsprit, fore-yard, and gaff of the Linnet, and compelled her to surrender. Such seamanship and intrepidity, on the part of Lieutenant Tracey, shew where la Gloire would have been, had he encountered her in a frigate.

The Linnet was carried into Brest, and her late commander, officers, and crew, remained as prisoners until the end of the war. On the 31st May, 1814, a court-martial was held on board the Gladiator, at Portsmouth, to try them for the loss of their vessel ; when, in addition to an honorable acquittal, Lieutenant Tracey was highly complimented for " his judicious and seamanlike manoeuvres, for his courage and judgment, and for his endeavour to disable the enemy, though his efforts were not completely successful." On the llth of the following month, he was promoted to the rank of commander a just reward for his truly meritorious conduct.

This officer married, May 3d, 1825, Mrs. Knight, of Gosport, only sister of the Rev. J. R. Cooper, of Emsworth, co. Hants.

Royal Naval Biography 1833

 

Early in February, 1804, Commodore Hood determined that an attempt should be made to cut out the Curieiix, a fine French brig of sixteen 6-prs. and 70 men, under the command of Commander J. M. E. Cordier, which was lying in the harbour of Fort Royal, Martinique, under shelter of the guns of Fort Edouard, and was nearly ready for sea...On the night of February 3rd, four boats of the Centaur, 74, with 60 seamen and 12 Marines, under Lieutenant Eobert Carthew Reynolds (2), delivered the attack after a hard pull of twenty miles...The British loss was 3 officers and 6 seamen wounded, the gallant Reynolds mortally, and Lieutenant Edmund Byron Bettesworth and Midshipman John Tracy slightly...

Having visited the West Indies, she returned to Europe, and, in the chops of the Channel, on February 25th, 1813, fell in with the Linnet, 14, Lieutenant John Treacy. Treacy tried to out-manoeuvre his huge opponent, and handled his little vessel with extraordinary skill, managing even to brush away the frigate's jib-boom ; but after a little more than an hour's action, the brig was obliged to surrender. On May 31st, 1814, a court-martial honourably acquitted Treacy, and complimented him on his conduct, and, on June 11th following, the gallant Lieutenant was made a Commander.

24 December 1855 - The Gentleman's Magazine

At Chelsea, aged 80, of the Magazines, Marchwood, near Gosport, Capt. John Tracy, R.N. He entered service in 1794 on board the Incendiary fire-ship, was made Lieutenant in the Explosion bomb 1800, and when commanding the Princess Augusta 8, captured the Jena privateer of the same force, and 19 others of the enemy's vessels. He was afterwards not less sucessful in the Linnet 12, but in Feb 1813 was unfortunately captured by the French 40-gun ship La Gloire. After his acquittal by court-martial in May 1814, he was promoted to the rank of Commander as a reward for the "courage and judgement, he had displayed on that occasion." His services on full pay occupied nineteen years.

 

TRACY. (Commander, 1814. F-P., 19; H-P., 34.)

John Tracy was born 23 Nov. 1774. He is a descendant of the ancient Barons of Devon. This officer entered the Navy, in 1794, on board the Incendiary fire-ship ; in which vessel and the Porcupine 24 (the former attached to the force sent in 1795 to co-operate with the French Royalists in Quiberon Bay) he was for about two years creditably employed on the Channel station, under Capts. Rich. Bagot and John Draper, as A.E., Coxswain, Quartermaster, and Midshipman. Being then nominated Master's Mate of the Ardent 64, Capts. Rich. Rundle Burgess and Thos. Bertie, he fought in that ship and was wounded (• Vide Gaz. 1707, p. 986.— In consideration of the injuries he sustained on this occasion he was allotted a pension which ceased on his promotion to tlie rank of Lieutenant) in the action off Camperdown 11 Oct. 1797, and was present in her in 1799 in the expedition to Holland, where he assisted in landing the troops and witnessed the surrender of the Dutch squadron under Rear-Admiral Storey.

 

During the winter of the latter year a six-oared cutter, with 8 men, belonging to the Arrow sloop, Capt. Wm. Bolton, in attempting to land in a heavy gale at North Yarmouth, was swamped at some distance from the shore. Two of the crew were drowned, a fate which, as it was found impossible to get a boat out to their assistance, must inevitably have attended the remainder, had not Mr. Tracy, who happened to be on shore, seized the beachmen's line, fastened it round his body, and, regardless of danger, dashed in among the breakers, through which he succeeded in reaching the unfortunate men, who, having the rope then secured to them, were hauled on shore amidst the acclamations of the beholders! On 6 Oct. 1800 Mr. Tracy was made Lieutenant into the Explosion bomb, Capt. John Sykes ; and on 13 of the same month he was removed to the Heldin 28, Capt. John Phillips, under whom we find him, in Aug. 1801, present in Lord Nelson's attack upon the Boulogne flotilla. In the following Jan, he was paid off. Assuming command, 28 Sept. 1803, of the Princess Augusta,, a small hired cutter, of 8 guns (4-pounders) and 25 men, he was occasionally employed in that vessel in the conveyance of despatches and other communications to Russia. He was strongly recommended also by his senior officer, Capt. Robt. Dudley Oliver, for valuable service he performed off Havre-de-Grace.

 

On 13 June, 1804, he had 3 or 4 men, including himself slightly, wounded, in an action of two hours and three quarters, fought near the mouth of the river Tees, with a French privateer of 14 guns, full of men, which in the end sheered off, on observing the approach of two small vessels, manned with seafencibles, from Redcar. The Princess Augusta, in this very gallant affair, received several shot near the water's edge, and was much shattered in her rigging. The conduct of her brave commander was highly ap- proved by the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Keith, and the Board of Admiralty. He afterwards (besides making prize, 28 Jan. 1807, of the Jena privateer, of 8 guns and 46 men (Vide Gaz. 1807, p. 142.)) took within 12 months as many as 19 of the enemy's vessels, and drove on shore on the coast of Holland and destroyed a captured brig, under a battery of 6 guns and a fire of musketry. In the affair with the Jena he was again slightly wounded ; and for this and his other proceedings he had the gratification of receiving letters of a flattering nature from his Commanders-in-Chief, Lord Keith and Vice-Admiral Thos. Macnamara Russell, as well as the renewed approbation of the Admiralty.

 

On 4 Feb. 1807 Mr. Tracy was removed to the command of the Linnet brig, of 12 18-pounder carronades, 2 long sixes, and 60 men. In her he was chiefly employed in blockading Havre-de-Grace, in cruizing in the Channel, North Sea, &c. in escorting convoy to Newfoundland, and on service on the coast of Ireland. On 16 Jan. 1808 he enforced the surrender, off' Cape Barfleur, after a running action of an hour and 40 minutes, of Le Courrier lugger of 18 guns and 60 men (Vide Gaz. 1808, p 107);* on 30 Aug. following he captured, near Cherbourg, the Foudroyard of 10 guns and 25 men ; his vessel, during the latter part of the operations connected with the expedition of 1809 to the "Walcheren, occupied the advanced position in the river Scheldt, in order that she might be on the look-out for fire-vessels ; and on 29 May, 1812, he took, off the Start, Le Petit Charles, carrying 26 armed men. On other occasions he recaptured two brigs, made prize of a privateer and two small French sloops, and detained three Danish vessels. His performances indeed in the Linnet twice obtained for him the commendation of their Lordships ; and he was continued in her until Feb. 1813 ; on 25 of which month he fell in with, and was forced to strike his colours to, the French 40-gun La Gloire, This latter step, however, was deferred until he had done all that intrepidity could do, and had exhausted every resource that consummate seamanship could suggest. In pronouncing its sentence, the court-martial, which, on 31 May, 1814, assembled on board the Gladiator at Portsmouth to try the late officers and crew of the Linnet, expressed its opinion " that the capture of H.M. late gun-brig Linnet was caused by her falling in with a French frigate of very superior force, and that the conduct of the said Lieut. John Tracy, his officers, and company was most able, judicious, and seamanlike, although they were not so fortunate as to effect their escape from so superior a force. Yet," it went on to say, " their manoeuvres in having three times crossed the frigate's bows, and at one time so near as to carry away her flying-jib-boom, evinced so much courage and judgment, that the court doth adjudge the said Lieut. John Tracy, his officers, and company to be fully and most honourably acquitted." As a reward for his skill and valour Mr. Tracy was promoted, 11 June following, to the rank of Commander. He afterwards, until 1836, sought, but in vain, for employment; nor has he been since more successful in his efforts to obtain, that which he covets, the out-pension of Greenwich Hospital.

 

Commander Tracy married, 3 May, 1825, Mrs. Knight, of Gosport, only sister of the Rev. J. B. Cooper, of Emsworth, co. Hants. A son, by a former marriage, J. J. C. H. Tracy, is a Lieutenant R.N.

TRACY. (Lieut., 1837. F-P., 22 ; H-P., 2.)

John Joseph Clapp Harding Tracy is son of Commander John Tracy, R.N.

This officer entered the Navy, 9 July, 1823, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Queen Charlotte 100, Capt. Jas. Nash, lying at Portsmouth; where he removed, in Feb. 1824, to the Victokt 100, Capt. Chas. Inglis. From April, 1826, until Jan. 1830, he served (he had already attained the rating of Mid- shipman) in the West Indies in the Esfi£gle 18, Capts. Rich. Augustus Yates, Williams Sandom, Henry Gosset, Joseph O'Brien, Chas. Ramsay Drinkwater (now Bethune), and Russell Eliott. He then again joined, for rather more than three months, the Victoby, Capt. Hon. Geo. Elliot; and he was next, from 8 Sept. 1830 until 8 Jan. 1834, and from 19 Jan. 1834 until 22 Sept. 1837, employed as Mate in the Rainbow 28, Capt. Sir John Franklin, and Chakybdis 36, Lieut.-Commander Sam. Mercer, in the Mediterranean and on the coast of Africa. On 30 of the month last mentioned he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. His appoint- ments have since been— 16 Dec. 1837, to the Lily 16, Capt. John Reeve, with whom he returned to the coast of Africa— 28 Nov. 1839, after six months of half-pay, to the 'Wandebek 16, Capts. Hon. Joseph Denman, Stephen Grenville Fremantle, and Geo. Henry Seymour, in which vessel he was for four years and seven months employed on the African and China stations, tbe chief part of the time as First-Lieutenant, including about four weeks that he acted as Commander— and 18 July, 1845, to the charge, which he still retains, of a sta- tion in the Coast Guard. On 19 Nov. 1840 he landed at the Gallinas, and after having destroyed the factories, brought off a number of slaves, whom he conveyed, in the prize-vessel Vanguarda, to Sierra Leone. In an engagement with some pirates off Acheen, on the coast of Sumatra, Mr. Tracy, who had charge of the Wandeeek's boats, and was in company with those of the Haeleqdin, had 4 men wounded, one of them severely, in his own boat, the pinnace.

Professional Liberality of Sir Charles Cotton

Lieutenant Joshua Treacy, late 1st. lieutenant of the San Josef, had sailed with Sir Charles Cotton for 13 years. On Sir C. striking his flag, in 1807, Lieutenant Treacy accepted an offer of Sir John B. Warren, of being first of the Swiftsure, his flag-ship, and proceeded in her to Newfoundland. When Sir Charles hoisted his flag in the Hibernia, of' Lisbon, Lieutenant Treacy proceeded to join him, but through some delay of conveyance, he unfortunately was detained for a considerable time, during which, Lieutenant J. Bellamy was acting as first. Lieutenant Treacy joined about; month before Sir Charles struck his flag; on which event, the Admiral gave Lieutenant Bellamy (although a perfect stranger to him) his commission as: commander; judging that it would be an act of injustice to preclude him from that promotion, which, by the courtesy of the service, is generally on such occasions, conferred for the performance of the duty, which Lietenant Bellamy had most creditably discharged.

 

Joshua Treacy, Esq.

Obtained the rank of lieutenant in Dec. 1797 and served for many years under the late Admiral Sir Charles Cotton. On that officer striking his flag in 1807, Mr. Treacy accepted an offer of Sir John Borlase Warren, and proceeded with him to Halifax, as first of his flag-ship, the Swiftsure. When Sir Charles Cotton assumed the command on the Lisbon station, after the emigration of the House of Braganza, he again applied for his old follower; who accordingly hastened to join the Hibernia 110, from which ship he was removed, with the admiral's retinue, into the Sail Josef, on the Mediterranean station, in 1810. Lieutenant Treacy was made a commander on the 21st Mar. 1812.

TREACY. (Retired Captain, 1844. F-P., 21; H-P., 46.)

Joshua Treacy died 15 April, 1845, at Whitehaven.

This officer entered the Navy, 21 Nov. 1778, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Infernal, Capt. Allen, employed at Deptford and Spithead. Five months after he had been discharged from that vessel he joined the Triumph 74, Capt. Philip Affleck, attached to the force in the Channel. Her he left in July, 1780 ; from which period he did not again go afloat until received, as A.B., in Jan. 1793, on board the Terrible 74, Capts. Skeffington Lutwidge, Geo. Campbell, John Miller, and Sir Rich. Bickerton. Attaining the rating of Midshipman in the following April, he served in that capacity in a gun-boat, and on shore in the batteries, at the occupation, in the course of the same year, of Toulon. He was afterwards, 14 March and 13 July, 1795, present in Hotham's partial actions with the French fleet off Genoa and the Hyeres Islands. He continued in the Terible, part of the time as Master's Mate, and latterly in the Channel, until made Lieutenant, 13 Dec. 1797, into the Bust 18, Capt. John Acworth Ommanney, stationed in the North Sea ; and he was subsequently appointed—19 Oct. 1798, to the Pnoselyte 32, Capt. Geo. Fowke, in which frigate (he did not join her until March, 1799) he cruized on the coast of Ireland and then accompanied the expedition to Holland, where he assisted in landing the troops under Sir Ralph Abercromby—24 April and 27 Not. 1800, to the Prince and Prince George 98's, bearing each the flag of Sir Chas. Cotton in the Channel—27 May, 1802, to the Glatton 50, Capt. Jas. Colnett, employed at first in conveying convicts to New South Wales, and next as flag-ship, at Leith, to Admirals Rich. Rodney Bligh and Jas. Vashon — 18 Aug. 1804, to the San Josef 110, bearing the flag of his patron Sir C. Cotton in the Channel—4 Aug. 1807, to the Monmodth 64, Capt. Edw. Dumford King, on the eve of her departure for the East Indies— 29 Oct. following, as First, to the Swiftsure 74, fitting for the flag of Sir John Borlase Warren, wliom he accompanied to the coast of North America— and 12 Sept. 1808 and 4 May, 1810, to the Hibernia 120, and San Josef again, flag-ships of Sir C. Cotton on the Lisbon and Mediterranean stations. He was promoted to the rank of Commander 21 March, 1812 ; and placed on the list of Retired Captains 13 Sept. 1844.

A Crimean War pair awarded to Midshipman Martin Tracey, Royal Navy
Crimea 1854-56, 2 clasps, Sebastopol, Azoff (Midsn. M. Tracey, R.N., H.M.S. Vesuvius.) officially impressed naming in the style of Naval Long Service medals circa 1910; Turkey, Order of the Medjidie, breast badge in silver, gold and enamels, extremely fine (2) £500-600

Provenance: Sotheby, December 1990.
Midshipman Martin Tracey took part in the commando-style raids against the Russian supply routes bordering the Sea of Azoff in the Summer of 1855. When commanding a paddle-box boat on detached service from H.M.S. Beagle, he and his small crew gave covering fire whilst Seaman John Trewavas swam inshore to cut the hawsers on the pontoon bridge at Genitchi. For this act of gallantry, Trewavas was awarded the Victoria Cross, and for his own services on this and other occasions, in the Sea of Azoff, Tracey was awarded the Order of the Medjidie.
Subsequently transferring to the Orion, Tracey deserted his ship while she was lying at Spithead on 24 March 1856, and was seen no more. He thus never received his Crimea medal, nor was he recommended for the Turkish Crimea medal, Fifty-four years later, his younger brother, the Reverend H. F. Tracey, Vicar of Dartmouth [see above], laid a claim for the issue of a medal in Martin Tracey’s name, and this was authorised in 1910 (despatched on the authority of the Admiralty to the Reverend Tracey, 6 May 1910). There are very few surviving examples of this medal which can be attributed to an individual, of any rank, who served in the Royal Navy in the Sea of Azoff operations (vide pages 340-344, Naval Medals 1793-1856, by Captain K. J. Douglas-Morris, R.N., where Martin Tracey’s medal is discussed).
