Historia
Bayntun was a lieutenant of 1783. Apart from a short interval in 1796, he served in the West Indies from 1794, the year in which he was promoted to captain, until 1804. On his return to England he was appointed to the LEVIATHAN and sent to the Mediterranean to join Nelson. He then took part in the pursuit of the French to the West Indies and in the Battle of Trafalgar, 1805. From 1806 to 1808 he served in the AFRICA on the Cape Station, returning for a period in home waters in 1808. In 1809 he was appointed to the MILFORD and three years later reached the rank of rear-admiral, after which he saw no more active service. He was made an admiral in 1837.
