Occupation Interests / Re: Coxswain aged 15 in 1810 - Is this possible?
« on: Monday 11 March 13 13:36 GMT (UK) »
Just done a little more research (which I should have done before posting!
) and came up with this nugget:
Nelson who was a midshipman at 12 and was "Captain's Coxswain" on the Carcass by the age of 14.
So - Yes - it is possible.
Thank you for the nudge, Dawn.
