The descendants of Thomas Cochrane and Edward Codrington in Athens

 

The SHP and the Philhellenism Museum participated together with the descendants of two important protagonists of the Greek War of Independence, Thomas Cochrane and Edward Codrington, in an event at the Floating Naval Museum Battleship “George Averov”, for the presentation of the Greek part of the archive of Lord Thomas Cochrane by the Ekaterini Laskaridis Foundation.

The archive contains over 1100 letters exchanged by Thomas Cochrane, mainly with chieftains of the Greek Revolution, which provide us with useful information about the important events that took place mainly during 1827.

The photo shows representatives of the Cochrane and Codrington families, and the SHP/ Philhellenism Museum, with the commander of the floating Museum Averov.
