Subsequent careers
Peter Heywood stayed in the Royal Navy and had a distinguished career as a seagoing officer. He retired a widely respected post-captain in 1817.
James Morrison also stayed in the navy. He served with distinction in several of the main naval engagements of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, eventually drowning in 1807 while serving as the gunner on Admiral Sir Thomas Troubridge's flagship HMS Blenheim.
Captain Edward Edwards and his officers were exonerated for the loss of the Pandora. Edwards never received another seagoing command. He subsequently served for a few years as a "regulating captain" (recruiting officer) in Argyle and Hull, and then resigned himself to (apparently inevitable) inactivity on the half-pay list.
Surgeon George Hamilton published his Pandora voyage narrative in 1793. After this he served in HMS Lowestoft where he was to lose an arm during the bombardment of a fortified tower on Cape Mortella in Corsica in 1794. He was "invalided out" of the service. It is assumed he returned to his native home in Northumberland to live out his days on an invalid's pension.
First Lieutenant John Larkan fought in the Battle of the Glorious First of June (1794), was promoted to the rank of commander and served out his naval career as a commander of "Sea Fencibles" (i.e. a coast guard unit) in Galway. He died in Athlone in 1830.
Second Lieutenant Robert Corner was promoted. His next posting was to HMS Terrible as first lieutenant. He continued to serve meritoriously, especially during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. He ended his career as the Superintendent of Marine Police in Malta and died in 1816.
Third Lieutenant Thomas Hayward was also promoted to the rank of commander. He died in 1797 while in command of the sloop HMS Swift, which was lost with all hands during a typhoon in the South China Sea.
Midshipman George Reynolds eventually attained the rank of commander in 1831, despite having retired from active duty in 1814. Dying in 1851-60 years after the loss of the Pandora-he was most probably the last survivor.
The rest of the Pandoras have faded into historical obscurity. But something about their lives can be reconstructed from the archaeological record.
