Abraham van der Hulst Abraham van der Hulst ( Amsterdam , 11 April 1619 - 12 June 1666 ) was a Dutch admiral in the 17th century . Van der Hulst was appointed extraordinary captain in 1650 . He served as captain of the " Groningen " in the First Anglo - Dutch War , being promoted to full captain in 1653 , becoming flag captain of Vice - Admiral Witte de With on the " Vrijheid " , fighting in the Battle of the Gabbard and the Battle of Scheveningen . In 1654 he had convoy duty in the Mediterranean . In 1656 , in the Dutch - Portuguese War , he took two merchantmen during the blockade of Portugal . In 1658 he was flag captain of Vice - Admiral Michiel de Ruyter on the " Hilversum " while again blockading Portugal . In 1661 he served in De Ruyter ' s fleet in the Mediterranean .

In the Battle of Lowestoft in 1665 he was second in command in the squadron of Lieutenant - Admiral Jacob van Wassenaer Obdam , taking over command of this unit when the latter was killed because his flagship exploded . The battle was a heavy defeat for the Dutch and those captains fighting bitterly to cover the retreat of the fleet were seen as heroes , among them Van der Hulst who was promoted on 25 July to Vice - Admiral . In the Four Days ' Battle he was second in command in the squadron of Lieutenant - Admiral Cornelis Tromp . On the second day due to a communication mistake Tromp failed to follow the turn of the main body of the Dutch fleet into the back of the English fleet . As a result his squadron became isolated and attacked by a superior English force . Before De Ruyter could break the English line and save Tromp ' s force , several ships had taken a horrible pounding , among them the " Spiegel " , Van der Hulst ' s flagship . He himself was mortally wounded by a musket ball in the breast . The " Spiegel " was abandoned but later salvaged . Van der Hulst was buried in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam ; a marble grave memorial was later erected , a work of Artus de With . His name was later given to a Karel Doorman class frigate in 1993 , the HNLMS Abraham van der Hulst .

Battle of the Combahee River The Battle of the Combahee River was a skirmish of the American Revolutionary War fought on August 26 , 1782 , near Beaufort , South Carolina , one of many such unimportant confrontations to occur before the British evacuated Charleston in December 1782 . Of note is the death of 27 - year - old Colonel John Laurens , " one of the bravest and most gallant of the American officers . " Background . British forces had essentially been under siege in Charleston since late 1781 due to the activity of General Nathanael Greene ’ s forces in the area . General Alexander Leslie requested a truce in March 1782 and permission to purchase food for his garrison and for the inhabitants of the city . When Greene refused , General Leslie announced his intention to resume his armed forays to seize provisions by force . Greene created a 300 - man light brigade of infantry and cavalry under the command of General Mordecai Gist of Maryland to oppose such forays . On August 21 , General Leslie sent out two foraging expeditions . One went out to St . Helena ' s Parish , and the other , under Major William Brereton , went up the Combahee River . When Greene learned of these movements , he sent Gist ' s force to the Combahee to oppose Brereton ' s movements . Gist arrived at the north bank of the river on the 25th , but Brereton had already arrived and taken control of the ferry . Gist learned the next day that 300 of Brereton ' s men had crossed the river , so he sent a detachment over to deal with them , while he sent Laurens with 50 Delaware infantry and artillery captain with a howitzer to man a redoubt at Chehaw Point , where they might fire on the British as they came downriver . Laurens spent that evening visiting with friends who lived on the way , and left for Chehaw Point at about 3 am on the morning of August 27 . Battle . The British had anticipated Gist ' s maneuvers and had quietly drifted downriver . Before Laurens could reach Chehaw Point , 150 soldiers set up an ambush along the road to the point . Gist discovered the British departure at 4 am and immediately led 150 cavalry after Laurens . While sources disagree whether Laurens ordered an attack or was surprised in the ambush , battle was engaged , and Laurens fell with mortal wounds in the first volley . The artillery captain also fell , as did others , and the troops retreated in disarray , leaving the howitzer behind . Gist and the cavalry arrived in time to cover their retreat , but he was unable to recover the howitzer or dislodge the British from their position . Aftermath . The British eventually returned to their boats , and Brereton ' s men continued to forage while Gist dealt with the aftermath of the battle . Laurens and one other man died on the field , and 19 more were wounded .

The current First Sea Lord is Admiral Sir George Zambellas ( appointed April 2013 ) . History . Lords High Admiral were appointed from the 15th century until the 18th , and Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty from the 17th century , as the governors of the English and later British Royal Navy . From 1683 to 1684 , there were seven paid Commissioners and one supernumerary Commissioner who served without salary . The number varied between five and seven Commissioners through the 18th century . The standing of all the Commissioners was in theory the same , although the First Commissioner or First Lord exercised an ascendancy over his colleagues from an early date . In 1805 , for the first time , specific functions were assigned to each of the ' Naval ' Lords , who were described as ' Professional ' Lords , leaving to the ' Civil ' Lords the routine business of signing documents . The title of the First Naval Lord was changed to First Sea Lord on the appointment of Sir Jackie Fisher in 1904 . From 1923 onward , the First Sea Lord was a member of the Chiefs of Staff Committee ; and from 1923 to 1959 in rotation with the representatives of the other services ( the Chief of the Imperial General Staff and Chief of the Air Staff ) would serve as the chairman of that committee and head of all British armed forces .

Pétroleuses Pétroleuses were , according to popular rumours at the time , female supporters of the Paris Commune , accused of burning down much of Paris during the last days of the Commune in May 1871 . During May , when Paris was being recaptured by loyalist Versaillais troops , rumours circulated that lower - class women were committing arson against private property and public buildings , using bottles full of petroleum or paraffin ( similar to modern - day Molotov cocktail s ) which they threw into cellar windows , in a deliberate act of spite against the government . Many Parisian buildings , including the Hôtel de Ville and the Tuileries Palace , were burned down during the last days of the Commune , prompting government forces to blame the mythical " pétroleuses " . Recent research by historians of the Paris Commune , such as Robert Tombs and Gay Gullickson , has revealed that there were in fact no proven incidents of deliberate arson , and that no women were actually convicted as " pétroleuses " . Of the thousands of suspected pro - Communard women tried in Versailles after the Commune ended , only a handful were convicted of any crimes , and their convictions were based on activity such as shooting at loyalist troops . Official trial records made by the Versaillais authorities , and kept classified until the twentieth century , reveal that no women were ever convicted of arson , and that accusations of the crime were quickly shown to have no basis whatsoever . The buildings destroyed at the end of the Commune were not burned down by " pétroleuses " . The Hôtel de Ville was destroyed by members of the National Guard as they retreated . The buildings along the Rue de Rivoli burned down during street - fighting between Communards and Versaillais troops , whilst other buildings were destroyed by incendiary shells . Gullickson suggests that the myth of the " pétroleuses " was part of a propaganda campaign by Versaillais politicians , who portrayed Parisian women in the Commune as unnatural , destructive , and barbaric , giving loyalist forces a moral victory over the " unnatural " Communards . Despite this , the myth of " pétroleuses " was widely believed until the twentieth century . In Paris itself , the sale of flammable liquids was banned for several months after the end of the Commune ( a measure taken again during the 2005 riots ) .
