Captain Hugh Pigot was a Royal Navy officer. Through his connections and their patronage, he was able to rise to the rank of captain, despite poor leadership skills and a reputation for brutality. Historian William James stated that "he has been described to us by those who knew him well, as one of the most cruel and oppressive captains belonging to the British navy."
