Autor

Harry Collingwood was the pseudonym of William Joseph Cosens Lancaster (23 May 1843 - 10 June 1922), a British civil engineer and novelist who wrote over 40 boys' adventure tales, the majority of which were set on the sea. Collingwood was the eldest son of master mariner Captain William Lancaster (1813 - (1861 - 1871)) and Anne, née Cosens. According to his birth certificate, he was born on May 23, 1843 at 9:30 a.m. at Concord Place in Weymouth, Dorset. According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, the majority of references, with the exception of his birth certificate, identify his birth date as 1851. According to his application for Associate Membership in the Institution of Civil Engineers, he was born on May 23, 1846. Collingwood was the first of the couple's three children. He was eight years old when his sister Ada Louise was born, and twelve when his sister Sarah Anne (1 June 1853 - 27 December 1941) was born. Both ladies were listed as draper helpers on the 1871 census. Collingwood's father had died by that time, and his mother lived with her daughters until her death. Ada never married and lived with her sister after leaving her family home. Sarah Anne married Mathew Smellie in St Michaels, Toxteth, Liverpool, Lancashire, on June 30, 1880. Harold Ernest Smellie, born on April 11, 1881, died on April 30, 1961. Harold, Collingwood's nephew, registered his death in 1922.
