A fine portrait of a British naval commander stationed in North America in the build up to the American War of Independence.

In Charleston the following year, a party from 'Sardoine' boarded a suspected smuggling schooner and the populace threatened to use the batteries of Fort Johnson against the 'Sardoine'. Hawker served in the War of Independence before retiring in 1781. One of his three sons, Edward, became an admiral; three of his five daughters married admirals.
