Charles was invited to join other dinner guests there on almost all the evenings he was in Caracas. They ate well. It was here that he came to know members of the local English community who were closely attuned to political developments. He met, among others, Dr Thomas Cox, at whose house he was staying, Porter’s private secretary, Mr Morris Lievesly, and Col Edward Stopford, who edited an English newspaper in Caracas. Intriguingly, one of Bolivar’s ADC, Englishman Col Belford Hinton Wilson, was a regular presence at most dinners at Sir Robert’s house. Getting to know him would given Charles an additional personal insight into Bolivar’s leadership and political strategies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/06fa2b13-1eb9-499b-a694-7ff94ee44385/Sim%C3%B3n_Bol%C3%ADvar_by_Antonio_Salas+1825.jpg Blog - Captain Charles Austen: Agent of British Diplomacy in South America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/79211364-a60c-4f03-b4a7-41f755af000d/CJA+with+Ceremonial+Spadroon.jpg Blog - Captain Charles Austen: Agent of British Diplomacy in South America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://sheilajohnsonkindred.com/news/2024/2/20/remembering-patrick-stokes-admiral-charles-austens-great-great-grandson-b7eh8 monthly 0.5 2024-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/1546717947240-PTA707T9Q1BB1JKKS7SU/9.%252BHalifax%25252C%252BAugust%252B1848%252Bby%252BHerbert%252BG%252BAusten%252B%252528Francis%252BAusten%252529.jpg Blog - Remembering Patrick Stokes, Admiral Charles Austen’s great great grandson - Make it stand out Fig.1: “Halifax,” by Lt Herbert Grey Austen, 1848.

Citadel Hill A: Citadel Hill, 5425 Sackville Street From the Halifax Citadel, there is a fine view of the harbour. You can look out to sea and imagine the Indian, the Swiftsure, the Cleopatra, or the Vindictive arriving or departing. When Charles was sent on a mission to Portugal, his wife Fanny regularly watched the military signal flag at the Citadel in hopes that it would indicate the returning squadron had been sighted on the approach to Halifax. At the base of Citadel Hill is the Town Clock, installed between 1802 and 1803, which was a gift from Edward, Duke of Kent, commander of the military forces in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The Citadel retains the original flag mast traditionally used for military signals and regularly uses it to display flags appropriate to the period and the occasion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/1546995367638-L2PFSMAEMZ6OMHEK8ZZB/St_Pauls.jpg Blog - In the Footsteps of the Austens: A Walking Tour of Halifax, Nova Scotia - B. St. Paul's Church B: St. Paul’s Church (1750), 1749 Argyle Street While the Indian was being repaired in the fall of 1809, Charles and Fanny Austen participated in Halifax society, along with Fanny’s sister Esther Esten. Charles and Fanny’s nine-month-old daughter Cassandra Esten Austen (“Cassy”) was baptized at St. Paul’s Church. St. Paul’s, founded in 1749 and opened in 1750, is at the south end of the Grand Parade, a military parade square. The Reverend Robert Stanser baptized little Cassy, and Esther Esten and Charles’s friend Captain Edward Hawker were present as godparents. Cassy’s second godmother, Charles’s sister Cassandra, was in England and she was unable to attend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/1547245018472-Z115LD629E8LI9PTK5M1/Cover+of+JA+N.Atlantic+book.jpg Blog - In the Footsteps of the Austens: A Walking Tour of Halifax, Nova Scotia - C. Art Gallery of Nova Scotia C: Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, 1723 Hollis Street The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia owns several portraits of people associated with Halifax during Charles’s time here, painted by Robert Field, a British artist who was considered one of the best portraitists in North America. The paintings in the collection include one of Provo Wallis, who served on the station with Charles, and who, as 2nd Lt., brought HMS Shannon back to Halifax, with her prize capture, USS Chesapeake, after a resounding defeat of the American vessel off Boston on 1 June 1813. In 1810, Field painted portraits of Charles and Fanny Austen. He worked from a studio above Andrew Morrison’s book store on Hollis Street. The Gallery owns sketches of Halifax and its Harbour by Michael Seymour, flag captain to Vice Admiral Sir Francis Austen on HMS Vindictive, including “Halifax from McNab’s Island, 25 August 1845,” and “Admiralty House from the flag ship Vindictive’s mooring, 19 June 1845.” Flag lieutenant Herbert Grey Austen, son of Vice Admiral Austen, made sketches of similar views. His sketches, and the portraits of Charles and Fanny, are privately owned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/1546995366824-BQQQRU6XDYSL4FO1GQHG/Naval_Yard_Clock.jpg Blog - In the Footsteps of the Austens: A Walking Tour of Halifax, Nova Scotia - D. Naval Yard Clock D: Naval Yard Clock (1772), Halifax Ferry Terminal The Naval Yard clock, made in London by Aynesth Thwaites, was originally installed on a domed cupola atop the Sail Loft building in the Yard in 1772. It is one of the oldest turret clocks in Canada, and it is now located near the entrance to the Halifax Ferry Terminal. From this vantage point, the anchorages the navy regularly used off nearby Georges Island are in view to the south west. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/1546995366724-YA1P5RTFDDPX92GYN6FI/MartimeMuseum.jpg Blog - In the Footsteps of the Austens: A Walking Tour of Halifax, Nova Scotia - E. Maritime Museum of the Atlantic E: Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, 1675 Lower Water Street Charles’s ship HMS Indian underwent extensive repairs at the Halifax Naval Yard in the fall of 1809. The Naval Yard of the early nineteenth century has been replaced by a modern facility of the Royal Canadian Navy, but the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic has on display a detailed model of the Naval Yard as it was in 1813 during the Age of Sail. Charles and his family stayed with Admiral and Lady Warren in their apartment in the Naval Hospital in the summer of 1810, several years before Admiralty House was built. Fanny wrote to her sister Esther that “Lady Warren and the Admiral are both extremely kind and attentive to me and are very fond of my little Cassy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/1546995366271-7KQD5GQJABI4TQTKKV16/GovHouse.jpg Blog - In the Footsteps of the Austens: A Walking Tour of Halifax, Nova Scotia - F. Government House F: Government House (1800-1807), 1451 Barrington Street In June 1810, Fanny wrote that she and Charles attended a “splendid ball” at Government House, hosted by Lt. Governor Sir George Prevost and Lady Prevost. Many years later, Admiral Sir Francis Austen was received here during his term of office. Robert Field’s portrait of Andrew Belcher, Charles’s prize agent, hangs in the ballroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/1546995369690-7IL58XSK9ZPJBTZCLY45/RoundChurch.png Blog - In the Footsteps of the Austens: A Walking Tour of Halifax, Nova Scotia - G. St. George's Church Admiral and Lady Warren sometimes attended services at St. George’s in the summer of 1810, and Charles and Fanny may well have accompanied them, although when Fanny mentions the church in a letter to her sister Esther, she says the Admiral and his wife have gone to the “round Church” and Captain Austen has gone to HMS Swiftsure to lead prayers, “but as I had a little head-ach I prefered staying at home and writing to you.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c1547768ab722e48ecf1942/1546995365558-QLOCJDHM28I25USRIINE/AdmiralityHouse.jpg Blog - In the Footsteps of the Austens: A Walking Tour of Halifax, Nova Scotia - H. Admirality House H: Admiralty House (1819), now the Naval Museum of Halifax, 2729 Gottingen Street Vice Admiral Sir Francis Austen lived in Admiralty House when he was in Halifax in the summers of 1845, 1846, and 1847 as Commander-in-Chief of the North American and West Indies Station. This two story stone mansion is a fine example of neoclassical Georgian architecture. On completion in 1819, it was considered one of Halifax’s most elegant dwellings with its mahogany woodwork, marble fireplaces, and plaster ceilings, many decorated with intricate detail. A major part of Admiralty House still retains its original configuration. On his flagship, HMS Vindictive, Sir Francis Austen brought with him his sons George (chaplain) and Herbert Grey (flag lieutenant and amateur artist), his nephew Charles John Austen (flag lieutenant), and his daughters Cassandra and Frances. Jane Austen’s letters include a reference to “little Herbert,” to whom she “sent her love” when he was born in 1815. Charles John Junior, whose father Charles had first visited the city more than forty years previously, fell in love with a young woman from Halifax, Sophia Emma Deblois, and the two were married on 6 September 1848 at St. Paul’s. https://sheilajohnsonkindred.com/news/2019/10/07/fanny-at-godmersham-park monthly 0.5 2019-10-13
