Sir Charles Frederick Hotham was born in York on 20th March 1843. He enlisted in the Royal Navy in 1856 and was promoted to Lieutenant on 17th February 1863, first serving on the frigate HMS Curacoa, flagship of the Commodore commanding the Royal Navy’s Australia station. His first major engagement came in the invasion of the Waikato in New Zealand, as part of the naval brigade which fought the Maori warriors at the battle of Rangiriri, 20th to 21st November 1863. He was also engaged in other actions during the campaign in New Zealand. For his conduct during the New Zealand campaign, he was promoted to the rank of commander on 19th April 1865. After a brief stay in England, Hotham was given command of the gunboat HMS Jaseur on the West Coast of Africa Station in August 1867 and remained with HMS Jaseur when she joined the Mediterranean Fleet in Summer 1869. Promoted to captain on 29 December 1871, he became commanding officer of the corvette HMS Charybdis on the China Station in February 1877 and was briefly commanding officer of the battleship HMS Thunderer before becoming flag captain to the Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet in the battleship HMS Alexandra in November 1881. He took part in the bombardment of Alexandria in July 1882 during the Anglo-Egyptian War and then went ashore as Chief of Staff of the naval brigade, formed under Admiral Sir Beauchamp Seymour, which was dispatched to restore the authority of Khedive Tewfik Pasha in the face of Ahmed ‘Urabi's nationalist uprising against the administration. Hotham was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 14 August 1882. Hotham became senior officer on the South East Coast of America Station in April 1885: his fleet consisted of the corvette HMS Ruby and three gunboats. He went on to be assistant to the Admiral Superintendent of Reserves at the Admiralty in January 1886 and was appointed a naval aide-de-camp to the Queen on 18 January 1886. Promoted to rear admiral on 6 January 1888, Hotham became Junior Naval Lord later that month and then went on to be Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Station, with his flag in the armoured cruiser HMS Warspite, in February 1890. He sought to intervene in the Chilean Civil War in February 1891 by arranging a peace agreement between the forces of President José Manuel Balmaceda and those of the National Congress of Chile who opposed the President. Unfortunately Hotham was shot at while going ashore, no agreement was signed and the Civil War rumbled on until August 1892 when a much larger international peace-keeping force arrived to restore order. Promoted to vice admiral on 1 September 1893, he was advanced to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on 25 May 1895. Hotham became Commander-in-Chief, The Nore in December 1897 and, having been promoted to full admiral on 13 January 1899, he became Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth in October 1900. He was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO) on 8 March 1901, in recognition of directing the naval ceremonial events at the funeral of Queen Victoria. Following the coronation of King Edward VII the following year, Hotham was in command of the fleet review held at Spithead on 16 August 1902, his flagship HMS Royal Sovereign. For his service he was advanced to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath (GCB) in the November 1902 Birthday Honours list. He was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet on 30 August 1903. He retired in March 1913 and died in London on 23 May 1925.
