Walter Bathurst

In may 1810, between service on HMS Grampus and HMS Fame, it is possible that Walter Bathurst was captain again of HMS Salsette which carried Byron on excursions. There is a letter on page 900 of Shelley and his circle : 1773 - 1822 which I present as proof.

Sorry. I don't have it. You will need to contact the National Archives in Kew. ADM 53/519 covers most of 1811, but it isn't available digitally so you would need to find someone to copy to for you.

Dear Sirs,
My name is Christian Onoratto, and I am an advanced student of history, and I wonder if you could send me a digitalized copy of HMS Fame´s (1805) Frigate log-book. It was at the orders of Captain Bathurst, in march, 1811, that is the period I need. Capt. Bathurst sailed from Buenos Ayres to London taking as passenger Dr. Mariano Moreno, who died during this voyage. The purpose of my research is to review Moreno´s death and discard the feebly based (but popular) myth of his poisoning by means of Capt. Bathurst´s lieutennant.
Thanks in advance.
