Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Brace (1773-1843) was a senior officer in the British Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He commanded HMS Impreganbale but made a serious mistake with his navigation causing him to suffer 210 casualties. This did affect his career but only slightly and he continued to rise through the ranks where he was knighted in the Order of the Bath in 1834, althougth he was later denied any sea-going commands. In 1838 he became vice-admiral and was appointed commander in chief at the Nore.
