Sir Thomas Lawrence
Portrait of Midshipman Michael Daintry
1813
Little is known of Midshipman’s Daintry’s naval career, although the fact that at his death in 1853 he was recorded as being a Captain in the Guards suggests that he was not long in the Navy. He died unmarried, and the family estate passed to his brothers.
