About Edward Brace
- Rear Admiral Sir Edward Brace (bap.
- 2 June 1770 – 26 December 1843) was a senior officer of the British Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
- Most of his career was spent as a successful independent captain, and he was three times involved in successful actions against French or Dutch frigates, resulting in rapid promotion.
- After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Brace commanded the first rate HMS Impregnable at the Bombardment of Algiers in 1816, but made a serious mistake in his navigation and exposed his ship to the port's defences unnecessarily.
- As a result, he suffered 210 casualties and his career suffered as a result.
- Despite this setback, he continued to rise during the 1820s and gradually became an admiral and a knight.
- In the 1830s he was made commander in chief at the Nore and died on station in 1843.
