Admiral Sir Edward Thornbrough, GCB (27 July 1754 – 3 April 1834) was a senior, long-serving veteran officer of the British Royal Navy during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. He saw action in the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars, being wounded several times and once captured by American forces after a shipwreck. During the wreck, his conduct towards American prisoners aboard his ship was considered so exemplary that the American authorities later released him without parole or exchange.

  • サー・エドワード・ソーンバラ(Sir Edward Thornbrough、1754年7月21日-1834年4月3日)は、イギリス海軍の軍人で、18世紀の終わりから19世紀の始めにかけて、長期にわたり任務についた古参士官である。アメリカ独立戦争、フランス革命戦争、そしてナポレオン戦争に参戦して、数度にわたって負傷し、1度は乗っていた艦が難破した後、アメリカ軍に捕囚されたが、難破の際の、アメリカ人捕虜への姿勢が立派なものであるとみなされ、アメリカ当局はその後、執行猶予も捕虜交換もせずに彼を釈放した。 後にソーンバラは、栄光の6月1日で、混戦の只中に自分のフリゲート艦を乗り入れ、フランスの戦列艦に包囲されて損傷のひどいベレロフォンを曳航して安全な場所に移した。のちにソーンバラは、海峡艦隊と、カスバート・コリングウッド指揮下の地中海艦隊とで上級大将(シニア・アドミラル)を務め、大きな尊敬を受けた。1818年に現役を引退して3度目の妻とデボンに住み、1834年に死去した。 (ja)
