Everything about Vice-admiral Of The Coast totally explained
The holder of the post
Vice-Admiral of the Coast was responsible for the defence of one of the twenty maritime counties of
England, the North and South of
Wales, or the four provinces of
Ireland.
As a Vice-Admiral, the post holder was the chief of naval administration for his district. His responsibilities included pressing men for naval service, deciding the lawfulness of prizes (captured by
pirate ships), dealing with salvage claims for wrecks and acting as a
judge.
The earliest record of an appointment was of
William Gonson as Vice-Admiral of
Norfolk and
Suffolk in
1536.
From around
1560 Vice-Admirals of the Coasts acquired a more public profile than they'd enjoyed previously. In the second half of the sixteenth century they increasingly received orders from the
privy council. In
1561, apparently for the first time, the crown addressed instructions directly to the Vice-Admirals.
There are also a few examples of the title
Vice-Admiral of the West. It isn't however clear whether this was a separate appointment or possibly some incorrect use of an older title being applied to the holders of the Cornwall or
Devon post.
