Knighting sailors Written by Linden (3/7/2003 4:41 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, JA and the Wars, Part 2 - (1795-96), penned by Captain Everett

] (Captain Williams was later knighted, allowing Jane to jokingly refer to her cousin’s husband as "HRH".)

How common was it to give sailors a knighthood? Mary, in `Persuasion', would be satisfied so long as `they could but keep Captain Wentworth from being made a baronet'. Was he likely to have been?
