March 23, 1875. Thomas Lloyd died.—Trained as a shipwright at the School of Naval Architecture at Portsmouth, Lloyd was detailed by the Admiralty for duty with the early naval steam vessels, and ultimately became the first Engineer in Chief of the Navy, a post he held from 1847 to 1869. He was born in 1803, and his services extended from the introduction of steam into the Navy to the development of the first mastless steam ironclad, H.M.S. Devastation.
