The Scilly naval disaster of 1707, which claimed the life of Sir John Narborough, Bt, and his younger brother

The Narborough Baronetcy, of

Baronetage of England. It was created on 15 November 1688 in honour of Admiral Sir John Narborough
(who had died aboard his ship in May 1688) for his four-year-old son John, and with remainder to his younger brother, James.

The title became extinct when both brothers were lost in the

HMS Association[1] and has been attributed to Grinling Gibbons.[2]

The Narborough family seat was Knowlton Court. After the Narborough brothers' death, the family estates passed to their sister, Elizabeth, the wife of Thomas D'Aeth, who was himself created a baronet in 1716 (see D'Aeth baronets).
