Captain, John Taylor, depicted in this figurine, was a typical sea-going Captain of the era.He had achieved the rank of Captain just before his 30th birthday and the Hebe was his first command. At 34 he was rewarded his second epaulette denoting three years in post as Captain. He was very aware that when at sea, he more fortunate than many of his fellow officers. There was always a surplus of officers for ships and it is estimated that at the end of the Napoleonic War there were approximately 500 commissioned captains waiting for a sea posting; many officers, after being commissioned, were put on the 'half pay list' and remained there for the rest of their lives.
