George Fenner, . . . . • • .272 



George Fenner, ' a man that had beene conversant in 

 many sea-fights,' belonged to a Sussex family, and 

 was probably a native of Chichester. The family 

 produced several other seamen, of whom William 

 Fenner, Viceadmiral under Drake and Norris in the 

 Portugal voyage (see p. 483), and Thomas Fenner, 

 captain of the ' Dreadnought ' in Drake's Cadiz Ex- 

 pedition (see p. 438), are best known. The action 

 off the Azores between the Portuguese squadron 

 and George Fenner's ships (see pp. 281-3) is 

 1 memorable as the earliest revelation to English 

 seamen of the power their superiority in gunnery 

 was to give them' (Corbett, Drake and the Tudor 

 Navy, I. 93). On his return from the voyage to 

 Guinea in 1566, Fenner traded with the Low 

 Countries. In 1588 he commanded the 'Galleon 

 Leicester' against the Armada, and in 1597 accom- 

 panied Essex in the Islands voyage. The portrait is 

 taken from that in John Pine's Tapestry Hangings oj 

 the House of Lords, London, 1753, in the British 

 Museum.
