Sir Philip Bowes Vere Broke [1]
Rear-admiral, born at Ipswich, celebrated for the action between his ship Shannon , 38 guns, and the American ship Chesapeake , 49 guns, in June 1813, in which he boarded the latter and ran up the British flag; one of the most brilliant naval actions on record, and likely to be long remembered in the naval annals of the country (1776-1841).
