| Description: | As the title states, this book is both a biography of Admiral Sir Fairfax Moresby and an autobiography of Admiral John Moresby and their careers in the Royal Navy of the 1800's. Those careers included service at various stations in Europe and the Pacific including on the Canadian west coast. According to Moresby's comments in the Preface, Two admirals is a "family affair"; it is written with the able collaboration of his daughter, Elizabeth Louisa "Lily" Moresby (a Canadian author who has written around 40 books, of which many have been posted to Faded Page with more in process at Distributed Proofreaders Canada); one of his brothers, Matthew Fortescue Moresby (an amateur photographer and painter, specifically of ships); and a cousin, Frederick Gifford (who died while serving in the Royal Navy and who had done many of the sketches reproduced in the book and which represented the lighter side of naval life).
