English: The voyage of H.M.S. Rattlesnake that left England in December 1846 and had its first destination in Madeira, under the young captain Owen Stanley (1811-1850), born in Alderley, Cheshire, son of Edward Stanley (1779-1849), rector of Alderley and , later Bishop of Norwich and grandson of Lord Edward John Stanley of Alderley (1735-1807). At the age of 15 he entered the Royal Naval College in Portsmouth and, in 1826, served on board HMS. Druid, on patrol in the English Channel. Before being promoted to midshipman, in that same year of 1826, he joined the crew of HMS Ganges, which was in South America, where he joined other crews and, aboard HMS Adventure, in 1830, he passed the Strait of Magellan. That year he would return to England and serve in the Mediterranean in the aftermath of the Greek war of independence (1821-1829). It was within the framework of patrolling the Mediterranean, that in 1831 he was promoted to first lieutenant, joining several crews and also distinguishing himself as a cartographer, creating, in 1835, the chart of the island of Cyprus, published on January 1st of the following year. 1844, although we only know this work in a later edition, still signed by the brothers Christopher (1786-1855) and John Walker (1791-1867), who also engraved the plan of the Bay of Funchal, from 1845. In 1836 it was sent to the Arctic Ocean as a “scientific officer” on HMS Terror and, in 1838, he was given command of HMS Britomart, where he would continue to Australia and New Zealand, from where he would only return in 1843. Meanwhile, on March 26 In 1839, he was promoted to commander, in March 1842, he was elected member of the Royal Society of London and, on September 23, 1844, at just 33 years of age, he was promoted to captain. In view of the services already performed, in 1846 he was given command of H.M.S. Rattlesnake, an old 34.7 m corvette. by 9.7 m., equipped with 28 artillery pieces, built in the shipyards of Chatham Dockyard, in the county of Kent and launched into the sea on March 26, 1822. This ship had participated, between 1827 and 1829, in patrolling the coasts of Greece and, between May 14 and 16, 1830, in the attack on Algiers, a piracy center of the Ottoman Empire, where it suffered damage and had to be repaired. He would later return to service, being posted to the East, being in Australia and New Zealand in 1836, returning in 1838, but returning to the East the following year, actively participating in the 1st Opium War, 1839-1842. Returning to England, it would be transformed into an oceanographic ship in 1845, work carried out in the Spithead shipyards, in the county of Hampshire, and then in Portsmouth, where it was in November 1846, in the same county. Captain Owen Stanley had also begun to distinguish himself in some way as a watercolourist, especially due to the association he established with the then amateur painter Oswald Walters Brierly (1817-1894), whom he would even invite to his scientific team at H.M.S. Rattlesnake, in 1848 and who would be responsible for illustrating the material collected by that team. He would work for numerous publications, such as the Illustrated London News and, upon returning to England, he would enter the service of Queen Victoria (1837-1901), as her personal painter of nautical themes, being ennobled in 1885. Stanley's works were essentially notes from trip, in the meantime pasted by the author onto slightly larger sheets, with which he accompanied his main works, including the adaptation of the Rattlesnake to an oceanographic vessel, in Spithead and, later, its re-equipment in the port of Portsmouth, as with the work carried out in wood Island. After eight days in Madeira, on December 26, 1846, they left for Rio de Janeiro, although they had to wait a while, due to lack of wind, when they lowered the sails for washing (?) and recreation. crew. In mid-January, with a trade wind from the S. E., they passed through the islands of Cape Verde, between the island of Maio and Santiago, heading towards Brazil and entering Rio de Janeiro on the 23rd of that month. They would only arrive in Australia in November 1847, but later developed an intense activity of exploration of the various neighboring archipelagos, such as Papua New Guinea, with Captain Owen Stanley being the first Briton to identify the island of New Guinea, whose central mountain range would receive your name. In mid-March 1849, he fell ill on one of these farms and, returning to Sydney, died on March 13, 1850.

Nesse ano regressaria a Inglaterra e viria a prestar serviço no Mediterrâneo no quadro do rescaldo da guerra de independência da Grécia (1821-1829). |
