On May 30, Lieutenant Governor elect Captain James Stirling arrived on the Parmelia and on June 17 a proxy proclamation was read by Stirling confirming the earlier proclamation. The City of Fremantle in Western Australia is named after him. He left the Swan River Colony on 25 August 1829 heading towards the British Army base of Trincomalee, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) where he was based the next couple of years.
Fremantle was only in Ceylon for a couple of years. On his way back to England in September 1832 he visited the Swan River Colony for a week, but never returned after that. After a decade or so he next went on a voyage to the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Shortly after that, he served as rear-admiral controlling with great distinction the entire naval transport service for the Crimean War from Balaklava (a city in the Ukraine). In July 1858 he was appointed to the command of the Channel Squadron and eventually became an admiral. FamilyCharles Fremantle was the son of Admiral Thomas Fremantle. His middle name Howe is a consequence of his birth date, the anniversary of Lord Howe's victory over the French at the Glorious First of June in 1794. He married Isabella Wedderburn on October 8 1836. They had 3 children:
Thomas Fremantle, 1st Baron Cottesloe was the older brother of Captain Charles Howe Fremantle. References
