Rear Admiral Sir Edward Brace (bap.
2 June 1770 – 26 December 1843) was a senior officer of the British Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
Most of his career was spent as a successful independent captain, and he was three times involved in successful actions against French or Dutch frigates, resulting in rapid promotion.
After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Brace commanded the first rate HMS Impregnable at the Bombardment of Algiers in 1816, but made a serious mistake in his navigation and exposed his ship to the port's defences unnecessarily.
As a result, he suffered 210 casualties and his career suffered as a result.
Despite this setback, he continued to rise during the 1820s and gradually became an admiral and a knight.
In the 1830s he was made commander in chief at the Nore and died on station in 1843.
