  • Born in Blackheath, London, England, the son of Robert Hamond and Susannah Snape, he joined the Royal Navy in 1753 and served during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolution. In 1765, he was made a Commander and a Captain in 1770. Hamond was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia in 1781: he administered Nova Scotia in the absence of Governor Francis Legge who had been recalled to England, but not replaced, some years before. He had expected to be named Legge's successor when John Parr was named to the position. Offended, Hamond resigned as lieutenant-governor soon after Parr's arrival. In 1783, Hamond was awarded a baronetcy. He became Commander-in-Chief, The Nore in 1785 and Comptroller of the Navy from 1794. From 1796 to 1806, he was a Member of Parliament for Ipswich. He also was a member of the Court for the Court-Martial of the crew members captured on Tahiti who were involved in the Mutiny on the Bounty. Settlers of Hammonds Plains, a new settlement outside of Halifax, voted to name their area after the popular Lt. Governor. Lady Hammond Road, a new main road out of Halifax constructed by Hamond, was named after his wife Cecilia. Cape Hamond in Alaska, now Cape Saint Elias, was also named in his honour.
