The Dubhlinn was situated where the Castle Garden is now located, opposite the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin Castle.

Admiral of the Fleet David Richard Beatty, 1st Earl Beatty GCB, OM, GCVO, DSO, PC ( 17 January 1871 – 11 March 1936 ) was an admiral in the Royal Navy.

Beatty was born at Howbeck Lodge in the parish of Stapeley, Cheshire, on 17 January 1871.

He was the second son of five children born to David Longfield Beatty ( 1840 − 1904 ) and Katherine ( or Katrine ) Edith Sadleir ( 1840 − 1896 ), both from Ireland.

Beatty's birth certificate recorded his mother's surname as Beatty, and their eventual marriage at St Michael's Church, Liverpool was kept secret.

They remained close throughout life, so much so that the only time Beatty felt despair was at his brother's death.

Beatty was immediately taken with her, for her good looks and her ability to hunt.

Beatty was posted to the China squadron and only returned to England after being wounded at the siege of Tsientsin, eighteen months later in August 1900.

The couple had at first exchanged letters, which Beatty signed ' Jack ', as Ethel was still a married woman and discretion was advised.

Marshall Field was at first unimpressed by the impecunious Beatty as a future son-in-law, but was persuaded by his heroic reputation, impressive record of promotion and future prospects.

Beatty's father was also unhappy about the match, fearing a repeat of the difficulties he had faced with his own relationship with a married woman, but with the added risk of publicity because both Beatty and Ethel were famous and the risk that Beatty's illegitimacy might be exposed.

However, there were disadvantages, as Beatty discovered after his marriage, for his wife was an unstable neurotic who caused him extreme mental tortures.

Beatty was an intelligent and able leader, but all his social and sporting obligations, coupled with his high-strung temperament, prevented him from becoming a coldly calculating professional like Jellicoe – or his adversary, Hipper.

In January 1886, Beatty was given orders to join the China Station.

Life in the Mediterranean fleet was considerably easier than cadet life, with visits to friendly ports all around the Mediterranean, but Beatty was concerned to work diligently towards naval examinations, which would determine seniority and future promotion prospects.

Beatty was assigned as midshipman to assist lieutenant Stanley Colville during watchkeeping and Colville was to play an important part in Beatty's future career.

Stanley Colville was placed in command of the gunboats attached to the British expeditionary force in Egypt and as Beatty's former commander in Trafalgar and superior in ' Alexandra ' he requested that Beatty join him.

Beatty was seconded to the Egyptian government on 3 June 1896 and appointed second in command of the river flotilla.

Colville was wounded during the operation, leaving Beatty in command of the gunboats for the successful attack on Dongola.

In 1898 Beatty returned from leave after the Sudan campaign, but finding life in Ireland at the family home not to his taste, stayed instead with his brother at Newmarket.

Beatty ’ s flamboyant style included wearing a non-standard uniform, which had six buttons instead of the regulation eight on the jacket, and always wearing his cap at an angle.

Warner Bros .- Seven Arts had so little faith in the film that, in a then-unprecedented move, they offered its first-time producer Warren Beatty 40 % of the gross instead of a minimal fee.

On 20 April 1899 Beatty was appointed executive officer of the small battleship HMS Barfleur, flagship of the China Station, Captain Stanley Colville under Rear-Admiral James Bruce.

Before the report was published, Beatty was himself appointed First Sea Lord, and immediately requested amendments to the report.

Admiral Jellicoe was appointed First Sea Lord in November 1916 and turned over command of the Grand Fleet to Admiral David Beatty.

Orchard's nomination fight was ultimately terminated on January 3, 2008 when Dion announced via a news release that Joan Beatty would be appointed as the candidate for that riding, a decision that was the subject of some controversy.

Dion terminated the nomination contest and appointed Joan Beatty as the candidate.

In 1979, he became, at the time, the youngest person ever appointed to a Canadian Cabinet when Prime Minister Joe Clark made Beatty his minister of state for the Treasury Board in the short-lived government.

In 1995, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien appointed Beatty President and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, a position he held until 1999 when he became president and CEO of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, a business association that promotes the interests of Canadian industry and exporters.

Instead, Beatty appointed two brothers, Captains Alfred Dewar and Kenneth Dewar to write a ' staff appreciation ' of the battle, which would be circulated to navy officers only.

After becoming friends with the Chancellor, Sir Edward Beatty, he was appointed principal and vice-chancellor and served until 1962.

Henry Beatty remained as marine advisor to the CPR after his retirement in 1892, and it was through this connection that Edward came to the attention of the CPR and was appointed as their General Counsel in 1901.

The Royal Navy named a King George V-class battleship after Beatty, but this ship was renamed HMS Howe before completion, as another battleship of the same class, intended to be named after Jellicoe, was renamed HMS Anson.

Agar served at sea in a number of ships in the prewar period, including the battleships HMS Prince of Wales attached to the Mediterranean Fleet, and HMS Queen, commanded by Captain ( later Admiral ) David Beatty.

One consequence of the change was that Beatty chose to transfer the role of fleet flagship from HMS Iron Duke to Queen Elizabeth, which had been Evan-Thomas ' flagship as part of the squadron of the five fastest fleet battleships.

Cowan never went to school, but entered the Royal Navy in 1884 at the training ship, HMS Britannia, a classmate to fellow future admiral David Beatty.

In 1886, as Midshipmen, Cowan and Beatty joined HMS Alexandra, flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet.

In March 1889 Beatty left Alexandra.

On the night of 15 November, Rear-Admiral Hugo Meurer, the representative of Admiral Franz von Hipper, met Admiral Beatty aboard Beatty's flagship,.

Beatty was given command of the 5th Battle Squadron to replace a squadron of battlecruisers away for training.

He dispatched Vice Admiral David Beatty with the battlecruisers, and, and Goodenough with the 1st Light Cruiser Squadron, made up of the light cruisers,,,, and.

Beatty arranged his ships with his own 1st Battlecruiser Squadron ( BCS ) in the most southerly position ( sailing broadly east ), with the 2nd BCS on a parallel course two miles north and the 5th BS five miles astern.

Ordered to European waters late in the year, his division joined the British Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow and became the 6th Battle Squadron, British Grand Fleet, under Admiral Sir David Beatty.
