Surname: Clerke (obit)
First Name: Captain Charles
Ship: -
Date: August 1779
Place: -
Source: A New, Authentic Collection of Captain Cook s Voyages Round the World p. 561
Details: Charles Clerke sailed with Captain Cook in 1768 - 1770 and was on board when they passed by the entrance to the Hunter River when Captain Cook remarked in his log on a small round rock or island, we now know as Nobbys....Obituary....On the 22d, at nine in the morning, departed this life Capt. Charles Clerke, in the 38th year of his age. He died of a consumption which had evidently commenced before he left England, and of which he had lingered during the whole voyage. His very gradual decay had long made him a melancholy object to his friends; yet the equanimity with which he bore it, the constant flow of good spirits which continued to the last hour, and a cheerful resignation to his fate, afforded them some consolation. It was impossible not to feel a more than common degree of compassion for a person, whose life had been a continued scene of those difficulties and hardships, to which a seaman s occupation is subject, and under which he at last sunk. He was brought up to the navy from his earliest youth, and had been in several actions in the beginning of the war in 1756, particularly in that between the Bellona and Courageux, where being stationed in the mizen-top, he was carried overboard with the mast, but was taken up without having received any hurt: He was midshipman in the Dolphin, commanded by Commodore Byron, on her first voyage round the world, and afterwards served on the American station. In 1768, he made his second voyage round the world, in the Endeavour, as master s mate, and by the promotion, which took place during the expedition, he returned a lieutenant. His third voyage round the world was in the Resolution, of which he was appointed the second lieutenant ; and soon after his return, in 1775, he was promoted to the rank of master and commander. When the present expedition was ordered to be fitted out, he was appointed to the Discovery, to accompany Capt. Cook; and by the death of the latter, succeeded to the chief command. It would be doing his memory extreme injustice not to say, that during the short time the expedition was under his direction, he was most zealous and anxious for its success. His health, about the time the principal command devolved upon him, began to decline very rapidly, and was every way unequal to encounter the rigours of a high Northern climate. But the vigour and activity of his mind had, in no shape, suffered by his body ; and though he knew, that by delaying his return to a warmer climate, he was giving up the only chance that remained for his recovery, yet, careful and jealous to the last degree, that a regard to his own situation should never bias his judgment to the prejudice of the service, he persevered in the search of a passage, till it was the opinion so every officer in both ships, that it was impracticable, and that any further attempts would not only be fruitless, but dangerous. On the 24th, the Resolution entered the harbour of St. Peter and St. Paul, with the ensign staff half up, on account of their carrying the body of their late Captain. The Discovery followed soon after. In the afternoon of the 19th, the last offices were paid to Capt. Clerke. The officers and men of both ships walked in procession to the grave, whilst the ships fired minute-guns ; and the service being ended, the marines fired three vollies. He was interred under a tree, which stands on a rising ground, in the valley to the North side of the harbour, where the hospital and fore-houses are situated
