About the Item
George III Lloyds patriotic fund silver and silver gilt vase and cover by Samuel Hennell, of Adam design, the lift-off cover with knop finial above angled swept handles and laurel wreath cartouche inscribed ‘This cup is presented by the underwriters of Lloyds Coffee House to Captain George Keyzar of The Ship Irlam as a testimony of his gallant conduct in beating a French privateer of superior force on his voyage to Barbadoes [sic] July 1804’, on spreading embossed circular foot, marks for London, 1804. Sold with an ink and watercolor portrait purporting to be Captain Keyzar, unsigned, approximate 30 x 22cm, framed and glazed. English, 1804.
The ship Irlam was launched in 1800 from Liverpool as a West Indiaman sailing between Liverpool and Barbados. Although a merchantman, not a privateer, she made an unusually aggressive use of her letter of marque capturing or re-capturing four vessels. She sank from a dramatic wrecking in 1812. Captain Keyzar is mentioned as one of several captains of the 24-gun vessel, and was involved in the manumission (setting free) of slaves on behalf of free colored’s and others in Barbados. He is mentioned on nine deeds in relation to manumission (see Pedro L V Welch, ‘Unhappy and Afflicted Women? Free Colored Women on Barbados: 17801834, Inter American University Press 1999).

- Captain Sir George Collier’s Presentation Silver Entree Dishes by Richard CookeBy Richard CookeLocated in Lymington, HampshireCaptain Sir George Collier’s presentation silver entree dishes and covers by Richard Cooke, London 1803, each plain rectangular with gadroon borders, covers with detachable vine twist handles, the covers engraved: ‘Presented by the Old Madras Insurance Company to Captn. Collier, Commander of His Majestys Sloop ‘Victor’, for his persevering & gallant conduct in chasing for two days, partially engaging & ultimately sinking the French National Corvette ‘La Fleche’ of superior force while advantageously anchored at the Mahé Islands.’ Dimensions approx.: 150 x 290 x 200mm / 6 x 11 ½ x 8 inches Total weight approx.: 3513 grams / 112 oz. troy. Footnotes: These silver dishes were presented to Captain Sir George Collier KCB (1774-1824) for destroying the 22-gun French corvette La Flèche whilst commanding Victor, 18 guns, in the Seychelles on 5 September 1801. After escorting troop transports into the Red Sea ahead of the British invasion of Egypt, Victor fell in with La Flèche off Diego Garcia. After an initial engagement, the corvette escaped to windward only to be found again four days later. A short but fierce action ensued during which the corvette caught fire, grounded on a coral reef and sank before a prize crew could secure the ship. As reward, the Admiralty made Collier post captain and gave him command of Leopard, 50 guns. Born in London, Collier entered the Royal Navy in 1784. As a midshipman, he was wrecked off Madagascar in 1792 surviving among the natives of that island for six months before being rescued by a passing Portuguese brig. Unfortunately, the brig was immediately captured by a French privateer and for two more years, Collier was confined as a prisoner of war on Mauritius. Returning to service in 1795, he was given his first command in Suffolk Tender. Following the Peace of Amiens, Collier commanded the Sea Fencibles at Liverpool. After accompanying the expedition to Copenhagen in 1808, for which he was knighted for delivering the admiral’s dispatches, he saw action, and was wounded, supporting the military Campaign in Spain. After the war, Collier was made commodore on the African station where he was employed suppressing the slave trade with such rigour that he was elected an honorary member of the African Institution, founded by William Wilberforce...Category
