Summary
Rear-Admiral John Pasco (1774-1853)
A half length portrait of Pasco slightly to left, wearing rear admiral’s full dress uniform, and the General Service medal with a Trafalgar clasp. His left hand rests on his sword, which is a presentation one for Trafalgar.
The painting is probably dated about 1850. This officer joined the navy in 1784 and appears to have served 20 years in it without seeing any enemy action at sea, though in 1796 he served ashore at the taking of St Lucia. In 1803 he was appointed to the ‘Victory’ Lord Nelson’s flagship and achieved immortal fame as the signal officer, by being responsible for the hoisting of the well known signal before Trafalgar. He was severely wounded in the action. 40 years later he was placed in command of the ‘Victory’ which was by then lying at Portsmouth.
