---
James Smiter (Sliter on Admiralty claims list) is confirmed on the roll for Syria as Carpenter’s Crew on board H.M.S. Asia and is clearly not entitled to the rare clasp for ‘Phoebe 28 March 1814’, for which 30 clasps were issued to commemorate Phoebe’s notorious chase, in consort with the Cherub, and ultimate capture of the American frigate U.S.S. Essex off Valparaiso, Chile, on 28 March 1814.
James Smiter joined Asia as Carpenter’s Crew, aged 25, on 3 April 1836, and was discharged on 10 April 1841, having witnessed the Syrian operations of 1840. His subsequent postings were to the Coast Guard, as Boatman, on 10 July 1841, and as Commissioned Boatman from 15 December 1847 to 3 March 1854; Shipwright aboard Euryalus from 4 March 1854 to 2 May 1856; and as Commissioned Boatman in the Coast Guard again, from 3 May 1856, until his final discharge on 30 November 1864.
Sold with copied record of service.
