  • Frederick Chamier (1796–1870) was a novelist and naval captain. Retiring in 1827, he wrote sea novels somewhat in the style of Marryat, including The Life of a Sailor (1832), Ben Brace, the last of Nelson's Agamemnons (1836), The Arethusa (1837), Jack Adams, or the Mutiny of the Bounty (1838), The Spitfire (1840), Tom Bowling (1841), Jack Malcolm's Log (1846). He also continued James's Naval History, and wrote books of travel. As a midshipman on board the frigate Salsette in May 1810, young Chamier watched Lord Byron swim across the Hellespont. This episode is described in The Life of a Sailor. His most popular books were Life of a sailor, with six reprints from 1832 to 1873, Ben Brace, with 11 reprints from 1836 to 1905, Tom Bowling, with 5 reprints from 1858 to 1905 and The Spitfire, with 3 reprints from 1840 to 1861. In 1870 The Times described Chamier as 'a veteran novelist, one, indeed, whose sea novels some quarter of a century ago were almost as universally popular as those of Captain Marryat'. The only detailed publication on Chamier's life and works is the exhaustive PhD dissertation by P.J. van der Voort: The Pen and the Quarterdeck, Leiden University Press, 1972. He is related to Daniel Chamier.
