On the evening of 21 September 1797, at 11 P.M., half dozen angry members of frigate HMS Hermione crew, their courage fueled on a stolen bucket of rum, rushed to Captain Hugh Pigot's cabin, smashed the door, and forced their way in.¹

Captain Hugh Pigot, 1802

After overpowering the marine guards stationed outside, they hacked at Captain Pigot with cutlasses or tomahawks and one man with a musket and bayonet before throwing him overboard.^{2, 3} Two of the mutineers, American, Able Seaman John Farrel of New York and Bosun's Mate, Thomas Nash, of Waterford, Ireland took significant leadership roles during the mutiny.⁴

HMS Hermione 1799

The HMS Hermione was recommissioned, as a fifth-rate frigate, under Captain John Hills, in December 1792. She sailed from Chatham Dockyard to Jamaica on 10 March 1793. The Hermione served in the West Indies during the early years of the French Revolutionary Wars. On 4 June 1794, under John Hills, the ship participated in the British attack on Port-au-Prince, where she led a small squadron that accompanied troop transports. Hermione had five men killed and six wounded in the attack. The British captured both the port and its defenses, and in doing so captured a large number of merchant vessels. Throughout her years in the Caribbean, the crew of the Hermione suffered repeated outbreaks of Yellow Fever and Malaria.

Death from disease, and not as a direct result of combat with the enemy, was in fact one of the navy’s biggest adversaries. Life on board a sailing ship was grueling and unhealthy. Ships teemed with refuse, rotting provisions, rats, insects, dirt and unclean drinking water. It is not surprising that these conditions resulted in diseases becoming widespread. Provisions for seamen to clean themselves and launder their belongings were not supplied by the navy, meaning the men usually slept in filthy hammocks and wore the same dirty clothing for months at a time.⁵

The muster log of the HMS Hermione confirms the crew, as scholar Niklas Frykman has written, lived with the daily fear of – and in close proximity to death – through disease. Out of a shipboard population that usually hovered at just below 180, 134 Hermione men died between December 1792 and July 1797, on average one man every ten days or so.⁶ During the course of 1794 most British forces were killed by Yellow Fever. Crew member David O’Brian Casey later wrote,

“In the Hermione alone,” we lost in three or four monthsw nearly half our crew, many from apparent good health, dying in a few days.⁷

In the summer of 1794 the mortality rate for fever cases at the Port Royal Naval Hospital increased to 41%.⁸ Likewise later in the year, the registers of the Mole Naval Hospital, recorded the percentage of fatal cases caused by "fever" and the percentage of "fever" cases resulting in death rose to exceptional levels in the last quarter of the year, respectively seventy-three per cent and fifty-six per cent, excluding "intermittent" fevers.⁹ On 24 August 1794, Captain John Hills, the Hermione’s commanding officer, died from Yellow Fever at Port-au-Prince Hospital.¹⁰

HMS Hermione, muster 7 April 1797 to 7 July 1797,
“Widows Men”, number 12 -15

Widow's man was a fictitious seaman kept on the books of Royal Navy ships during the 18th and early 19th centuries so that their pay and rations could be redistributed to the families of dead crew members. This financial arrangement helped keep widows from being left destitute following the death of their seafaring husbands. The number of widows' men on a Royal Navy ship was proportional to the ship's size. A first-rate might have as many as eighteen, while a fifth-rate, like the Hermione, might have only three or four. The existence of widows' men served as an incentive for men to join the Royal Navy, rather than the Merchant Navy, as they knew that their wives would be provided for if they died.¹¹

11. On the HMS Hermione muster (numbers 12 -15) and that of many other ships, were "widows’ men". A widow’s man was a fictitious seaman, entered on the muster whose wages would be set aside to be used to make payment to the families of dead crew members.

The last surviving muster book, July 1797, reflects the Hermione had a diverse crew, with about half of the crew born in England and a fifth in Ireland. The remaining sailors were from Germany, Norway, America, Canada, Denmark and Portugal. Two of the men David Black, no. 159 and William Lewis no. 252, were of African descent. At least twenty of these seamen were Americans, "among them mariners from Charleston, Norfolk, Philadelphia, New York and Nantucket.” Of the twenty Americans aboard the Hermione a slight majority appear to have received bonuses for "enlisting" with a distinct likelihood that the remainder had been pressed."

HMS Hermione muster1797, p.26, Captain Hugh Pigot,
no.615 John Farrel, American, no. 634, was a leader of the mutiny

As he had when in command of the HMS Success, Captain Hugh Pigot (no. 615) on assuming command of the Hermione on 6 February 1797 continued to impress seamen. Many of these sailors’ men were "pressed" or forcibly conscripted seamen from merchant vessels doing business in the Caribbean. For example, six Americans were impressed on 4 July 1797 from the American merchant ship Two Brothers. This impressment action and others like it led to a diplomatic incident and the intervention of the American Consul, Silas Talbot. The impressed men were eventually released.¹²
