Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox military person Captain Henry Parkyns Hoppner (1795Шаблон:Snd22 December 1833) was an officer of the Royal Navy, Arctic explorer, draughtsmanШаблон:Sfn and artist. His career included two ill-fated voyages culminating in the loss of Шаблон:HMS in 1816 and HMS Fury in 1825.

Early years

Born in London, Hoppner was the fourth child of English portraitist John Hoppner and Phoebe Wright (1761–1827), daughter of American sculptor Patience Lovell Wright.Шаблон:Sfn Not much is known of his younger sibling. There were three older brothers whom the father painted in the 1791 oil on canvas, The Hoppner Children, a part of the National Gallery of Art's Widener collection:Шаблон:Sfn[1]

Career

Hoppner joined the Royal Navy in 1808, and served during the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812. His first shipboard experience was on HMS Endymion when she was ordered to Corruna. In 1815, he was commissioned as a junior lieutenant. The following year, he served aboard the ill-fated Alceste under Capt. Murray Maxwell, escorting Lord Amherst to China on a diplomatic mission to the Jiaqing Emperor. With the Alceste shipwrecked, Hoppner switched to the East Indiaman Lion in order to assist his shipwrecked comrades.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

In 1818, Lieutenant Hoppner served on the Alexander as second in command under Lieutenant William Edward ParryШаблон:Sfn during Captain John Ross' British Naval Northwest Passage Expedition of 1818, who commanded HMS Isabella.[2] Hoppner participated in three additional Arctic voyages under Parry's command:

  • Parry's First Arctic Expedition, 1819–1820, subordinate lieutenant,Шаблон:Sfn on board HMS Griper[3] under Lt. Matthew Liddon,Шаблон:Sfn while Parry commanded HMS Hecla.
  • Parry's Second Arctic Expedition, 1821–1823, lieutenant, on board the Hecla, under Commander George Francis Lyon, while Parry commanded the Fury.Шаблон:Sfn Having surveyed an arm of the Foxe Basin's Lyon Inlet on the Melville Peninsula, Hoppner Inlet was named in his honour by Parry.Шаблон:Sfn
  • Parry's Third Arctic Expedition, 1824-1825: While Parry commanded the Hecla, Hoppner, having attained the rank of Commander,Шаблон:Sfn served as second in command of the expedition and commanded the Fury.Шаблон:Sfn Hoppner's two lieutenants were Horatio Thomas Austin and James Clark Ross.[4] Suffering from ice damage while overwintering, the ship's stores were unloaded onto the ice, and the Fury was abandoned on 25 August 1825 at Fury Beach on Somerset Island. Upon returning to England, the requisite court martial found Hoppner "no blame whatever",Шаблон:Sfn and in December, he was promoted to the rank of Commander. Over the next few decades, the Fury's abandoned provisions came to the rescue of many Arctic explorers, including that of (now Admiral) John Ross.[5]

Hoppner's artistic and creative talents were useful during these voyages. His illustrations were published with the expedition narratives of John RossШаблон:Sfn and Parry. In addition, Hoppner participated for two seasons in the Royal Arctic Theatre, established by Parry to relieve boredom during the long Arctic winters. Hoppner is also credited with organizing bals masqués, masquerade balls held each month while overwintering in the Arctic.Шаблон:Sfn Regarding the masquerades, Parry remarked, "It is impossible that any other idea could have proved more happy, or more exactly suited to our situation."Шаблон:Sfn

Later years

Ill-health kept him from accompanying Parry in 1827 during his attempt on the North Pole. Hoppner's request to accompany Admiral Ross in 1829 was rejected.

Hoppner never married. On 22 December 1833, he died in Lisbon during a trip through southern Europe.
