About Murray Maxwell
Captain Sir Murray Maxwell, CB, FRS was a Royal Navy officer who served in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Maxwell first gained recognition in the British navy during the successful Adriatic campaign of 1807–1814, during which he destroyed a French supply convoy during the action of 29 November 1811. As a result of achieving further victories in the Mediterranean, Maxwell was given increasingly important positions and, despite losing the frigate HMS Daedalus off British Ceylon in 1813, was appointed to escort ambassador Lord Amherst to China in 1816.
