Thomas Brassey, 1st Earl Brassey GCB, JP, DL, TD (11 February 1836 – 23 February 1918) was a British politician. Brassey was the son of the railway contractor Thomas Brassey (1805-1870). He was educated at Rugby School and University College Oxford. He was Liberal MP for Hastings from 1868 to 1886, and became Lord of the Admiralty in 1880, and Secretary to the Admiralty in 1884. He was knighted in 1881, and was created Baron Brassey of Bulkeley in 1886. From 1895 to 1900 he was Governor of Victoria. He was created Earl Brassey in 1911. He served as President of the first day of the 1874 Co-operative Congress. Between 6 July 1876 and 27 May 1877 he circumnavigated the world in his steam-assisted three-masted topsail-yard schooner "Sunbeam". This voyage is said to have been the first circumnavigation by a private yacht. His son Thomas Allnut Brassey (1863-1919) left the "Sunbeam" at Rio de Janeiro in order to return to school in England. His wife Annie, Lady Brassey (1839-1887), published an account of the cruise entitled In The Trades, The Tropics, & The Roaring Forties, or alternatively A Voyage In The Sunbeam: Our Home On The Ocean For Eleven Months. In 1880 his book The British Navy was published. In 1886, he started The Naval Annual, generally referred to as Brassey's Naval Annual. He edited The Naval Annual until 1891. He was succeeded as editor by his son T A Brassey. He was President of the Royal Statistical Society, 1879-80. He was succeeded in the earldom by his son Thomas Brassey, 2nd Earl Brassey , who had been educated at Eton College and Balliol College Oxford and held the courtesy title of Viscount Hythe. The second earl died in 1919, when the titles became extinct. Brassey was the son of the railway contractor Thomas Brassey, by Maria Harrison, daughter of Joseph Harrison, a forwarding and shipping agent. He was the brother of Henry Brassey and Albert Brassey. He was educated at Rugby and University College, Oxford, and was called to the Bar, Lincoln's Inn, in 1864.
