Description
English: Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle (1680/1-1750)

A three-quarter length portrait of Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle painted between 1745-47. He wears a blue velvet coat with gold buttons and gold embroidered buttonholes and a white campaign wig. His right hand rests on an anchor fluke his left on his hip. In the left background is a ship wearing a union at the main. This flag is not original to the picture which would have had a Captain’s pendant. The presence of the white ensign suggests that the ship is the ‘Worcester’ which he commanded under Sir George Byng in 1717 who was an admiral of the white. This leads to a dating for the portrait of about 1718.

In February 1712 Ogle, then in command of the ‘Swallow’ found the notorious pirate Bartholomew Roberts. In the engagement Roberts was killed and his ship recaptured. A second pirate ship commanded by a man called Skyrm was captured the same day. Ogle was knighted for this service. In 1742 he was a flag officer under Vernon during the disastrous operations around Carthagena and was deeply involved in the disputes and quarrels which attended them. He was even charged and found guilty of assaulting the governor of Jamaica. However he remained commander-in-chief there following Vernon’s return to England in 1742, until 1745.
