Sir Richard Goodwin Keats (1757-1834) was a British naval officer who fought throughout the American Revolution and retired due to ill health in 1812 becoming Commodore Governor of Newfoundland 1813-1816, he was appointed Governor of Greenwich Hospital in 1821 and died there in 1834, where a memorial was erected on the orders of William IV. Keats was a distinguished Naval officer taking part in many battles and in 1789 sat at the Court Martial of the mutineers who had taken H.M.S. Bounty. When Nelson was shot dead on his ship H.M.S.
