Anne Chamberlyne

Anne Chamberlyne (1667–1691) was a female tar (sailor) who, in 1690, joined the crew of the Griffin Fireship, a ship commanded by her brother, Clifford. In June of 1690, she fought the French at Beachy Head. As noted by Ishida, "Although most women marines came from the lower classes, she came from the nobility."

She is the first known female tar in British history.

She was the daughter of Edward Chamberlayne (1616-1703), and sister of John Chamberlayne (1666-1723).
