Mother: ANNE STIRLING |
The Stirling family was well-known and celebrated in the naval
annals of the 18th century. Coming as he did from such a
background, it was not unnatural for James to enter the navy,
and at the age of 12 he joined up as a first-class volunteer,
embarking on the storeship "Camel" for the West Indies.
He was fortunate at first in having the patronage of his uncle,
Rear-Admiral Charles Stirling.
Soon after arriving in the West Indies, young James became
midshipman of the Hercules, and in 1805 he went to serve in his
uncle's flagship Glory.
He saw action off Cape Finisterre against the French and spanish
fleets, and later served under the flag of his uncle in the
"Sampson" and the "Diadem" in the operations on the Rio de la
Plata. After watching the fall of Montevideo and being
incorrectly reported as killed in action, he served for a time
on the Home Station and on `12 August 1809, at the age of 19 was
promoted Lieutenant in the "Warspite". In 1811 he was Flag
Lieutenant to his uncle, now Vice Admiral in command at Jamaica.
On the 27 February 1812, he received his first command, the
sloop "Moselle", and soon afterwards the larger sloop "Brazen"
in which he was employed during the American War in harassing
forts and shipping hear the Mississippi. He rendered excellent
service and succeeded in damaging greatly the commerce of the
American gulf ports, besides making the coast very insecure for
the enemy.
Later Stirling was sent to Hudson Bay, the North Sea, the Gulf
of Mexico and the West Indies and during this period was given
full Captain's rank. To attain the rank of Captain, even in
those days of strenuous naval activity, within 15 years, was not
altogether a common occurrence.
On the conclusion of his service in American waters the then
Commander-in-Chief of the station wrote the following minute to
the Lords of the Admiralty:
"I cannot permit Captain Stirling to leave this station without
expressing to your Lordships my entire satisfaction with his
conduct while under my command.
The zeal and alacrity he always displayed in the execution of
whatever service he was employed upon are above praise; but it
is to his acquaintance with foreign languages, his thorough
knowledge of the Station, particularly the Spanish Main, and his
gentlemanlike and conciliatory manners, that I am so much
indebted for the preservation of frinedly intercourse with the
foreign colonies in this command. I conceive it will be as
gratifying for your Lordships to hear, as it is for me to make,
so honourable a report of this able and intelligent officer,
whom I detach from my command with considerable regret; but I
feel at the same time a very sincere pleasure in thus
recommending him to the notice of your Lordships".
On such a report being made by the commanding officer early
promotion was sure to follow, therefore there could be no
surprise when Captain Stirling was promoted to post rank in
1818.
Although he had no qualifications for shore employment, he had
been awarded a fair sum in prize money and received a small but
secure income from the Treasury and for a while he travelled in
Europe and moved in London and country society.
At Woodbridge, Surrey, he became acquainted with the Mangles
family, whose wealthy head had extensive interests in the East
Indies, had been High Sheriff for Surrey in 1808, was a director
if the East India Co., and in 1832-37 represented Guildford in
Parliament. His third daughter, Ellen, attracted Stirling's
attention and the couple were married at Stoke Church, Guildford
on 3 September 1823 on Ellen's 16th birthday. They had five
sons and six daughters.
Stirling's next appointment was in January 1826 when he was
given command of the new "Success" and sent to form a settlement
in Raffles Bay, Torres Strait because of French activity in the
Pacific.
The successful manner in which he carried out this duty earned
for him the hearty commendation of the Governor of New South
Wales, who next sent him on the same vessel later that year to
visit and report on the west coast of Australia.
Stirling was much impressed with the land in the vicinity of the
Swan River and in glowing terms described it as an ideal site
for establishing a permanent settlement. Similarly impressed
was the New South Wales government botanist, Charles Fraser,
whose report added weight to Stirling's political and commercial
arguments in favour of its immediate acquisition and Stirling's
appointment to establish a new colony there.
Both opinions were supported by the New South Wales Governor
Darling, though not by the colonial administrators in London who
were loath to asssume a further territorial burden and who in
Stirling's words, "trembled at the thought of the expenditure
involved".
Later, while serviing in the East India Squadron, Stirling
suffered from a severe stomach ailment and was invalided back to
London on half pay. After having recovered from his illness, he
lost no time in trying to enlist support for a settlement to be
established in Western Australia.
Stirling's persistent arguments attracted the attention of
investors and speculators and with rumours that the French had
designs on the region, he finally overcame official reluctance
to establish a colony on the West Coast of New Holland.
He was appointed Lieutenant Governor of the new settlement and
accompanied by his wife and three year old son Andrew, set sail
for the colony from Plymouth on 9 February 1829 in the chartered
transport vessel Parmelia.
Packed into the 443 ton barque Parmelia were nearly 150 men,
women and children, passengers and crew, together with their
personal belongings, the stores, cattle and poultry and much of
the equipment required to set up the new colony.
The Parmelia was accompanied by HMS Sulphur carrying a
detachment of troops of the 63rd Regiment under the command of
Captain F C Irwin. Records would indicate that shortly after
the Parmelia sailed from Plymouth on her 16 week voyage to found
the Swan River colony, Mrs Stirling gave birth to a son,
Frederick Henry who in after years took command of the British
navy in Asutralian waters and married an Australian girl.
The Parmelia arrived off the Western Australian coast near the
mouth of the Swan River on 31 May and on the 18 June Stirling
proclaimed the foundation of the colony.
Stirling administered the Swan River Colony from June 1829 until
August 1832 when he departed on an extended visit to England,
where he was knighted. It had been left to the ingenuity of the
settlers and the untried adminstrative capacity of Stirling to
surmount all difficulties.
Although his adminstration was strongly criticised at various
times, the settlers generally were happy with the way Stirling
who was appointed Governor in 1831 governed the infant colony.
His popularity was due in no small part to his wife Ellen.
although still only 22 years old when she arrived at the Swan
River, she greatly assisted her husband in organising the social
life of the colony with energy and charm.
Indeed, such was the admiration felt towards Stirling that
during his visit to England to press for financial support for
the colony, he was presented with a cup called the Swan Cup
which carried the following inscription:
"Presented to Captain James Stirling RN, First Governor of
Western Australia by the relatives and friends of the settlers
at the Swan River in testimony of their admiration of the
wisdom, decision and kindness uniformly displayed by him and of
their gratitude for his strenuous exertions with the Colonial
Department for the benefit of that settlement. London May 1833"
A year later in August 1834, Stirling returned to Western
Australia and continued to administer the colony until December
1838. the leading settlers were honestly pained to see Stirling
leave Fremantle on the 5 January 1839, as their guiding light
and mentor, he had shared their speculations in a great
adventure.
His tall and dignified bearing, his commanding presence, and his
responsiveness to public esteem had enabled the settlers to face
an uncertain future. Perhaps the best summing up of this
portion of his career can be gathered from the address presented
to him by the colonists on his return to England.
It read in part:
"They could testify with confidence and gratitude that the
general tenor of His Excellency's administration had been highly
and deservedly popular; that they had invariably experienced in
him a friend of warm sympathy and individual distress, and an
entire and liberal promoter of every good and liberal
institution, an able and zealous patron of every enterprise
suggested for the general welfare and in all the domestic and
social relations of private life an example worthy of high
station''.
Stirling was only 48 when he returned to England doubly
qualified as a naval commander and civil administrator. At
first he toyed with the idea of a further colonial appointment,
but in October 1840 he was appointed to command the Indus on the
Mediterranean Station where he remained until June 1844. After
another three years ashore he was appointed to the Howe which he
commanded in the Mediterranean from April 1847 to April 1850
when he was knighted by the King of Greece. At no time did he
lose interest in his languishing little colony in Western
Australia always ready to join deputations to the Colonial
Office or to add his signature to memorials seeking more
favourable treatment from the British Government. He was not
only willing to help the colony as a whole, but also his
erstwhile fellow colonists as individuals.
In July 1851, Stirling was promoted Rear Admiral and in the
following year served at the Admiralty. From January 1854 to
February 1856 Stirling was commander in chief of the naval
forces in China and the East Indies, and he was promoted Vice
Admiral in August 1857 the year in which his youngest son Walter
was killed at Cawnpore in the Indian mutiny.
Stirling became an Admiral in November 1862 and died in
comfortable retirement at Guildford in Surrey on 22 April 1865
aged 74. His wife survived him by nine years and both were
buried in the extension to the graveyard of Stoke Church where
they had been married.
It is at Stoke Church in Guildford that a living memorial to
Stirling has been built in the United Kingdom. Opened in 1981
adjacent to the Church the "Stirling Centre" provides a focal
point for community activities within the parish.
The 175 pounds needed to build the centre came mainly from
donations made by the paritions themselves with contributions
also being received from the Government and people of Western
Australia.
Numerous landmarks in Western Australia today stand as a
memorial to this great sailor and explorer, whose infant colony
beset by so many problems in its early years grew and matured
into a properous and progressive member of the Commonwealth of
Australia.
