Admiral Sir Edward Gennys Fanshawe, {{post-nominals|country=GBR|GCB}} (27 November 1814 – 21 October 1906) was a Royal Navy officer who went on to be Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth.

Naval career

Born the eldest surviving son of General Sir Edward Fanshawe,[1] and the nephew of Admiral Sir Arthur Fanshawe, Fanshawe was educated at the Royal Naval Academy, Portsmouth where he came second from the top in a very talented year and was commended for both his artistic and writing ability.[2] Fanshawe joined the Royal Navy in 1828.[3] During the Oriental Crisis of 1840 he took part in the capture of Acre.[3] He was subsequently given command of {{HMS|Cruiser|1828|6}} and then {{HMS|Daphne}}.[3]

He took part in the Crimean War as captain of {{HMS|Cossack|1854|6}}.[3] Later he commanded {{HMS|Hastings|1821|6}}, {{HMS|Centurion|1844|6}} and then {{HMS|Trafalgar|1841|6}}.[3] He suffered some health problems from the 1850s, which curtailed his Mediterranean command of HMS Centurion.[2]

He was made Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard in 1861, Third Naval Lord in 1865 and Superintendent of Malta Dockyard in 1868.[3]

He went on to be Commander-in-Chief, North American Station in 1870, Admiral President of the Royal Naval College, Greenwich in 1875 and Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth in 1878.[3] He retired in 1879.[3]

From the early 1850s he and his family lived at Rutland Gate in London.[4] He later moved to 63 Eaton Square and finally to 75 Cromwell Road in Kensington, where he died on Trafalgar Day 1906.[2]

Family

Fanshawe's marriage to Jane Cardwell took place in early 1843; she was the sister of Edward (later Lord) Cardwell, a notable politician and, as Secretary of State for War under William Gladstone in the 1860s, instigator of the 'Cardwell Reforms' of the British Army.[2]

They had four sons and a daughter, including:

  • Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Cardwell Fanshawe, of the Royal Engineers, who married in 1900 Alice Drew, daughter of Colonel George Drew, CB.[5]
  • Admiral of the Fleet Sir Arthur Dalrymple Fanshawe (1847–1936),[3] whose son Guy Dalrymple Fanshawe also became a Royal Naval Captain.[2]
  • Alice Fanshawe[2]
