Joining the Navy in 1774, Thomas Wells worked his way through the ranking system at the time - three squadrons of Red, White and Blue in an ascending order of seniority, each with an Admiral, Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral. It is believed that Vice Admiral Wells progressed from Rear Admiral of the White to Vice Admiral of the Red in 1808, and would have been promoted to the highest rank of Admiral of the White in June 1814, had he not have died aged 51 on 31st October 1811.
During his naval career his commands were: Swallow (1781), Fury (1782), Champion (1782 - 1783), Iris (1790 - 1792), LaConcorde (1793 - 1794), Melampus (1794), Defence (1794 - 1798) ad Glory (1799- 1804). In 1805 Vice Admiral Wells was a pallbearer at the funeral of Lord Horatio Nelson.

David Glasgow Farragut (also spelled Glascoe; July 5, 1801 – August 14, 1870) was a flag officer of the United States Navy during the American Civil War. He was the first rear admiral, vice admiral, and admiral in the United States Navy. He is remembered for his order at the Battle of Mobile Bay usually paraphrased as "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" in U.S. Navy tradition.

This bar in York does not have a nautical name but I thought that I should include it especially for you, Rob, for the next time you visit the city, since it reputedly stocks 1,026 different varieties of gin.
Cheers Dave. I will take this information under advice.

This pub is in Dumbarton, Scotland.
About this establishment Wetherspoon the brewers have written,
"These premises, currently occupied by J D Wetherspoon, were originally mentioned in the 1818 Plan of Dumbarton by John Wood and were shown as a row of properties owned by J Lang. The building was re-modelled by Woolworths in 1939 who had occupied the site since 1922.
James Lang was one of the Langs of Chapelton, he was born in Dumbarton in 1805 and was educated there. James became a law clerk in the town clerk’s office but he later served on the town’s steamers. In 1830, he became the captain of one of the Dumbarton Steamboat Company’s vessels.
He commanded, in succession, the Dumbarton, the Leven, the Prince Albert, the Lochlomond and the Queen. As captain, James Lang used to communicate with his engineer using a worked out system of knocks, banging the heel of his boot against the wooden cover of the steeple engine. It was at Captain Lang’s recommendation that the local Dumbarton firm Denny Bros built a better method of communication into their vessel Lochlomond, in the form of a mechanical indicator.
In 1835, Lang married Agnes MacCallum of Greenock, she was the daughter of Peter MacCallum, founder of P MacCallum & Sons, iron and steel merchants, Greenock. On James’ death in 1850 his son John went on to head the above mentioned Greenock firm of P MacCallum & Sons, and he became prominent in Greenock’s civic life, attaining the positions of Burgh Treasurer and Second Magistrate.
Robert Napier ‘the father of Clyde Shipbuilding’ was born in Dumbarton in 1791. During the 1820s Napier began making ship’s engines and one of the first was for the paddle steamer Leven built in Dumbarton by James Lang."
