Pollard Hopewell

Pollard Hopewell (between 1786 and 1789 - 1 June 1813) was a midshipman in the United States Navy during the War of 1812.

Hopewell was the only child of Pollard Hopewell and his wife, Catherine Hebb, who were married December 19, 1785. Pollard, Jr. was born sometime between 1786 and 1789. He was orphaned at an early age. His father died in 1796 and his mother died on August 5, 1799. Pollard, Jr. was left in the care of his uncle, James Hopewell.

Hopewell entered the Navy as a Midshipman on 4 June 1812 from St. Mary's County, Maryland. He reported to the frigate Chesapeake on 21 August. With a new crew, Captain James Lawrence put to sea to engage the British frigate Shannon 1 June 1913. Despite their captain's famous cry, "Don't give up the ship", the crew was overwhelmed and the ship taken. Midshipman Hopewell was among those killed, as was Lawrence.

The two ships, USS Hopewell, were named for him.
