== Biography ==
 
 
 
Captain of [[HMS Hibernia]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Gardner,_1st_Baron_Gardner Admiral Lord Gardner]'s flagship of the Channel fleet blockading the French fleet in Brest.
 
 
 
He served with [[William Laurence]] on [[HMS Goliath]] during the [[Battle of the Nile]].  During a trip over the Channel Fleet to deliver dispatches from the Admiralty, Captain Bedford offended Laurence by calling [[Temeraire]] an "animal" and stating how appalling it must be to "be chained to such a life, and in such company," refering to his fellow Aviators; Laurence promptly excused himself back to Temeraire and headed back to the Dover covert.
 
 
 
Seeing as how he was a Captain of a first rate ship of the line, he was probably senior to Laurence in the seniority list of Captains.
