A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Bayly, Charlton Booth
BAYLY. (Lieut., 1814. f-p., 9; h-p., 32.)
Charlton Booth Bayly entered the Navy, in June, 1806, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Superb 74, Capt., afterwards Rear-Admiral, Rich. Goodwin Keats; under whom (with the exception of a brief attachment, in 1809-10, to the Puissant and Poictiers 74’s, Capts. Robt. Hall and John Poo Beresford) he continued to serve, in the same ship, and in the Milford 74, and Hibernia 110, until 1813; during which period he co-operated in the attack upon Copenhagen in 1807, and assisted at the subsequent defence of Cadiz. Joining next the Caledonia 120, flag-ship of Sir Edw. Pellew, he took part in an encounter with the French fleet off Toulon, 5 Feb. 1814; shortly after which event he joined the Union 98, Capt. Robt. Rolles, and served as Acting-Lieutenant at the reduction of Genoa. His official promotion taking place 17 June following, he was next appointed, 13 March, 1815, to the Penelope 36, Capt. Jas. Galloway, on accompanying whom to North America he was wrecked in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on 30 April in the same year. Mr. Bayly on that occasion experienced such intense suffering from the cold and the hardships he endured, as never yet to have recovered his health. He has not been able to procure further employment.
He is married, and has issue.
