Rear-Admiral (retired) Hubert Henry Holland, C.B. (3 March, 1873 – ) served in the Royal Navy.

Life & Career

Holland was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant on 31 December, 1894.

The second class protected cruiser Sybille was ordered to Lambert's Bay to support the Army in protecting the Cape Colony from Boer commando attacks. On 9 January, 1901, Captain Hugh Pigot Williams landed with fifty men and two field guns, leaving Holland in command of the cruiser. On the night of 15 January, Holland elected to take the ship to sea when she began dragging her anchor. The weather abated before too long, and so he brought her back to the anchorage from the south, but he struck rocks and became stuck at 2:30am. Holland fired signal shots from the 4.7-in guns and released oil to calm the water enough to launch boats. At 8:30, a tug and a trawler arrived, joined later by the City of Cambridge and the torpedo cruiser Tartar. Collectively the men were removed by lifeline, though one man was fatally injured in the effort. The ship was to become a total loss under the action of the sea, though much of her stores and equipment was salvaged.

A Court Martial concluded that Lieutenant Holland had not allowed for the strong current. He was dismissed the ship and was penalised two years' seniority, as was navigating lieutenant Cayley. Sub-lieutenant Street and Gunner Tapper also received severe reprimands in the accident.[1]

Holland was promoted to the rank of Commander on 30 June, 1910.

Holland was promoted to the rank of Captain on September, 1915.

Retired 12 July, 1922.

Holland was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral on the Retired List on August, 1926.
