Naval Court Martial Clears Captain Williams Over Tribune Loss
A naval court martial aboard the Impregnable presided by Admiral Warren acquits Captain Charles Hamlyn Williams and his crew of blame for the Tribune’s loss off Tarragona on November 8 1834. Master William Richard Matacott testified that anchoring conditions and a later gale caused the disaster while Williams conducted himself with discipline and effort to save the ship and stores. The court attributed the loss to an unusual hurricane and port insecurity, not officer fault, and Williams received his sword back.
