Remains of red markings on the front cover and on page 27. Frontis illustration tipped in. This Newcomen Address, dealing with the dramatic and colorful and constructive life of Sir Isaac Coffin (1759-1839), was delivered at the "1051 Maine Luncheon" of The Newcomen Society of England, held in The Mayfair Room of Hotel Lafayette, at Portland, Maine, U.S.A., where Dr. Coffin was the guest of honor on September 19, 1951. Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, 1st Baronet GCH (16 May 1759 – 23 July 1839) was an officer of the Royal Navy who served during the American War of Independence and the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Coffin was born in Boston and served in the navy on a number of ships during the War of Independence. He fought at Cape Henry with Arbuthnot and at St. Kitts with Hood, eventually being promoted to command a number of small ships on the American coast. He clashed occasionally with the naval hierarchy A serious incident occurred when Coffin was particularly active off the Canadian coast. A charge was brought of issuing false musters led to his dismissal from the ship. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Howe, then intervened to have him dismissed from the navy entirely, a decision that was later overturned, which set an important precedent. Restored to his rank, Coffin commanded several ships during the opening years of the wars with France, but an old injury forced him to move ashore. Retiring from active service towards the end of the Napoleonic Wars Coffin died with the rank of admiral in 1839. More
