History
This officer, known throughout his naval career as Hallowell, took the additional name of Carew in 1828. In 1783 he was a lieutenant, becoming a commander in 1790. He served off Africa and was in the Mediterranean as one of Nelson's 'Band of Brothers'. In 1812 he hoisted his flag in the MALTA, again in the Mediterranean, where he remained until the peace. He was Commander-in-Chief on the coast of Ireland, 1816 to 1818, and at the Nore, 1821 to 1824. Attaining the rank of vice-admiral in 1819, he was advanced to admiral in 1830.
