Captain (retired) Winstanley Robert Coverdale Moorsom, O.B.E. (16 July, 1878 – ) served in the Royal Navy.
Life & Career
Born in Clevedon the son of W. M. Moorsom, Esq..
Moorsom was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1900.[1]
Moorsom passed for navigator in first-class ships on 16 March, 1905.[2]
Moorsom was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 31 December, 1908.[3]
Moorsom was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1913.[4]
Moorsom was appointed in command of the torpedo gunboat Harrier from 10 February through 29 October, 1914. In mid-November, he was reappointed to the ship, additional, to serve as Senior Naval Officer of the Downs Boarding Flotilla. After two months in this role, he was appointed to Harrier and then Template:UK-Ceto, additional, to provide navigational expertise for the Flotilla. This work extended until he was superseded on 11 November, 1915.[5]
An appointment in command of Skirmisher in June 1916 was cancelled owing to sickness which would keep Moorsom out of service until October 1916, when some shore-based work was allowed him. In July 1917 he was appointed to Hibernia as navigating officer, and then placed in command of the armed merchant cruiser Orama in August, 1917.[6]
Moorsom was placed on the Retired List at the rank of Captain on 16 July 1924.[7]
