Description: A transnational collection of 18th-19th century material pertaining to three generations of a British Naval family.

In addition, the collection contains historical accounts, poems, memorials, memoranda and ephemera. The Hamond men were in the habit of recording, after the fact, important political and naval conversations via written "memorandum," including audiences with William IV and Lord Melville.
