Anson, George, 1st Baron Anson (1697–1762). A circumnavigator of the world, Anson shared some attributes with plundering Elizabethan ‘sea‐dogs’ but his work also pointed Britain towards a modern commercial imperialism. Anson rose to command a Pacific expedition in 1739. He captured a Spanish treasure ship and sailed westwards to reach home in 1744 a rich man. Further active service and politics qualified him for a peerage and spells as 1st lord of the Admiralty from 1751 to 1762.
