Coast Guards In Cornwall
1822
- 1901
In
1809 the Board of Customs formed the Preventive Water Guard to fight
smuggling. This water borne force used small boats to patrol every bay
and cove. In 1822 the Water Guard became the Coast Guard and were
placed under the Treasury and strengthened with 151 stations organised
in 31 districts. At each station the chief officer, chief boatman and
boatman were experienced naval seamen or fishermen. Supplied with
ammunition and stores, they were at sea whenever possible in their four
or six oared galley, and in bad weather formed a shore patrol.
On
this page I list some of those men and women who served in the Coast
Guard in Cornwall between its inception as a separate service in 1816
and 1901. Although the two words were not linked until the twentieth
century I have used this form in the tables for easier working.
If
you have any details you would like to add then please send me an e-mail
listing them.
