 | | Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, 1st Baron Collingwood RN (26 September 1750 – 7 March 1810) was an admiral of the Royal Navy, notable as a partner with Horatio Nelson in several of the British victories of the Napoleonic Wars, and frequently as Nelson's successor in commands. |
 | | After commanding in another small frigate, Collingwood was promoted to 64 gun ship of the line HMS Sampson, and in 1783 he was appointed to HMS Mediator and posted to the West Indies, where he remained until the end of 1786, again, together with Nelson, preventing American ships from trading with the West Indies. |
 | | Collingwood continued to be actively employed in blockading the enemy, until the peace of Amiens allowed him to return to England. |
