Covering letter from Government Secretary Bertram Sargeaunt to Levi St George Greggor enclosing a warrant appointing him Admiral of the Herring Fleet from 1 November 1930

Date(s): 3 November 1930

Creator(s): various

Scope & Content: Sargeaunt writes on the direction of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, enclosing the warrant which is valid so long as Greggor continues to be in command of a fishing vessel going to sea, the renumeration attached to the office being £5 per annum.

The warrant is signed by Claude Hill. An ink annotation on the warrant records that Greggor resigned from the post in June 1947.

Administration / Biographical History: Levi St George Greggor (b.7 October 1889; died 21 May 1975) was the son of George Greggor (christened 1 April 1855; died 9 June 1910). Levi gained his middle name due to his father George's connection to the Peel lifeboat which helped survivors of the wreck of St George on the night of his birth. It is understood George had volunteered to be part of the lifeboat crew that night along with many others (he is not named as having been a member of the selected crew).
