The Most Honourable Order of The Bath, C.B. (Military) Companion’s Chapel Stall Plate, gilded brass with engraved and painted badge of a companion, inscribed ‘Timothy Scriven Esquire, Commander in the Royal Navy, Companion of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath. Nominated 4th June 1815’, 190mm x 115mm, with original outer paper wrapper inscribed ‘Capt Timy Scriven CB’, extremely fine £600-£800 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- Timothy Scriven was a native of Lyme, Co.. Dorset, and began his nautical career in the merchant service. He had the misfortune to be taken prisoner by the French in 1793, and held in close confinement at Digne for about twenty months. Having been exchanged, he finally joined the Agamemnon 64, commanded by the matchless Nelson, under whom he served as a volunteer for nearly twelve months. As a Midshipman in the Montagu during the mutiny at the Nore, Scriven attempted to escape on shore in one of her boats, but was captured and put into leg irons. He was court martialed by the mutineers but given an honourable acquittal. He served nearly five years in the Montagu, including the battle of Camperdown on 11 October 1797. Scriven led a very active career in numerous vessels but during the time he commanded the Arrow and Telegraph, schooners mounting 12 twelve-pounder corronades, each with a complement of fifty men, from September 1811 until the early part of 1815, he captured no less than 5047 tons of the enemy’s shipping. Notable amongst his successes was the destruction of the famous American privateer Syren, after an action of forty minutes. He was twice wounded in the course of his services, and appears to have died in Jersey on 25 March 1824.
