Commander Wm. Love, a most meritorious officer, was born in April, 1764. Entering the Navy in 1778 on board the Hyaena 24, he witnessed in that vessel the close of Byron’s action with D’Estaing in 1779; accompanied Sir George B. Rodney to the relief of Gibraltar in 1780, and was present at the defeat of Don Juan de Langara. On the memorable 12 April, 1782, he was serving on board the Prothée 64, and was wounded. He obtained his first commission in 1794; was made Commander in 1807; had charge, during the after part of the war, of the Driver and Tisiphone sloops; was admitted to the out-pension of Greenwich Hospital in 1830; and died at Yarmouth 17 April, 1839. His father, Mr. Thos, Lovell, alluded to above, was Master of the Prothée, and lost a leg, in the action of 12 April, 1782. (English)
