The late Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker, 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Maull and Co. Walker '...entered the Navy in 1812 [aged 10]...and continued in the active service of his own country till 1838. After that date he commanded the Ottoman naval forces during the operations on the coast of Syria, including the attack upon Beyrout (where his services were warmly praised by Admiral Sir Robert Stopford), and at the bombardment of St. Jean d'Acre. In 1848 he was appointed Surveyor of the Navy, and for some time was one of the naval aides-de-camp to the Queen'. Walker was responsible for the Royal Navy's warship construction programme during the 1850s naval arms race and at the time of the introduction of the Ironclad warship.
