About This Item
HMS Orlando, in Ausa Bay [the bay of Naoussa (Naussa) or Agoussa], the Island of Paros [Aegean Sea], 29 October 1812. 6 x 8 inches, in good condition. The uncommon signature of Captain Edward Hinton Scott (born c.1789), who received the thanks of the Royal Humane Society for jumping from the Orlando to save the lives of four persons.

While in the Orlando he saw action in the Adriatic and the Chesapeake. He commanded her boats in skirmishes with the Malay proas in the Straits of Sunda and Malacca.
