Summary "Correspondence of the Family of Haddock, 1657-1719" by Sir Edward Maunde Thompson is a historical account edited in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the correspondence of the Haddock family, a lineage with a long-standing tradition of naval service, detailing their experiences and roles primarily in the 17th and early 18th centuries. This collection provides valuable insight into naval history, particularly during the tumultuous periods of conflict involving the English navy. At the start of the correspondence, we meet Captain Richard Haddock, who writes to his father while aboard the Dragon frigate in 1657. He expresses his longing to see his father and provides updates on naval affairs, including concerns about Dutch naval activities and preparations for potential conflict. The letters reveal the close-knit nature of the Haddock family, highlighting personal details such as Richard's relationship with his wife and his worries for their safety amidst the political tensions of the time. Through these letters, Thompson brings to life both the everyday concerns of a naval officer and the broader historical context of maritime warfare and family legacy.
