- Admiral Sir John Thomas Duckworth, 1st Baronet, GCB was a British naval officer, serving during the American War of Independence, the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, as the Governor of Newfoundland during the War of 1812, and a member of the British House of Commons during his semi-retirement. One of the least known of the Age of Sail admirals of the Royal Navy, Duckworth, a vicar's son, achieved much in a naval service which began at the age of 11. Serving with most of the great names of the Royal Navy during the later 18th and early 19th centuries, he fought almost all of Britain's enemies on the seas at one time or another, including in a operation that would be remembered a century later during the First World War. He also fought the last great fleet action of the Napoleonic Wars. Overshadowed by other great British sailors, he died at his post, but in peace rather than in combat.
- Sir John Thomas Duckworth Bt. , GCB war ein britischer Marineoffizier während der Koalitionskriege nach der Französischen Revolution.
- Vice-Amiral Sir John Thomas Duckworth, est un amiral britannique. Il se distingua en 1778 au combat livré devant la Grenade par le commodore John Byron à l'amiral Charles Henri d'Estaing, contribua en 1794 à la victoire remportée par les Britanniques sur Louis Thomas Villaret de Joyeuse près du cap Lizard; en 1798, à la prise de Minorque, et fut, en récompense, nommé gouverneur de la Jamaïque. En 1802, il bloqua Saint-Domingue et contraignit Donatien-Marie-Joseph de Rochambeau à se rendre; il détruisit en 1806 une escadre envoyée pour reprendre l'île. En 1807, il força l'entrée des Dardanelles : il eût même pris Constantinople sans les efforts de l'ambassadeur français Horace Sébastiani. Il quitta le service la même année et fut gouverneur de Terre-Neuve de 1810 à 1812. Il fut fait baronnet Duckworth de Topsham, Devon en 1813. Son fils John Thomas Buller Duckworth hérita du titre à sa mort.
