Captain Charles Eric Seaburne Farrant, R.N., Retired (17 November, 1891 – 29 October, 1951) was an officer in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

His father was Captain C. W. B. Farrant, the governor of a prison.

Great War

Farrant was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 30 August, 1914.[1]

Farrant was allegedly in command of the destroyer Kennet on 8 March, 1915, when she and other destroyers assisted the mined battleship Ocean in the Dardanelles,[2] but this contradicts the Navy Lists and his service record, which indicates he was first Lieutenant in Scorpion at the time.[3]

Farrant was appointed to Halcyon for command of the armed trawler George Brown on 10 September, 1917. He was discharged in April, 1918.[4]

Post-War

On 12 December 1918, Farrant was appointed in command of a group of minesweepers that was to be sent to the Rhine. He remained so engaged until 6 October, 1920. Within the month, he was appointed to Royal Sovereign.[5]

Farrant was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander on 30 August, 1922.[6]

Farrant was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1928.[7]

Farrant was promoted to the rank of Captain on 10 October, 1938.[8]
