- Charles Sotheby (died 1854) was an officer in the Royal Navy who served during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, eventually rising to the rank of rear admiral. Sotheby was present as a midshipman at the Battle of the Nile in 1798, serving aboard the 74-gun HMS Alexander, and took part in the Siege of Malta and subsequent operations in Egypt in 1801. Sotheby was made acting lieutenant on the 36-gun frigate HMS Penelope in October 1801, an appointment that was confirmed in January the following year. He served in that capacity in the English Channel and North Sea. In April 1807, he joined HMS Thetis for service in the Anglo-Turkish War. Sotheby received his first command in March 1809 when he was appointed to the 18-gun , in which he joined the Walcheren Campaign in July. He commissioned HMS Latona in July 1810 for service, en flûte, on the Lisbon station and in the Mediterranean. On 1 October 1814, he transferred to HMS Tamar and commanded her in the Americas and later on the Cape of Good Hope Station. He returned to the Mediterranean in May 1824, in command of the 32-gun frigate HMS Seringapatam, where he fought a three-year campaign against piracy. Sotheby attained flag rank on 20 March 1848 and rose steadily through the ranks until his death on 26 January 1854. (en)
