Show detail Hide detail

Nixon, Edward Atcherly Eckersall, 1878-1924 : Commander E.A.E. Nixon, born in Ireland, entered the Royal Navy as a cadet in 1892 and saw service in many parts of the world. He retired from the Royal Navy in 1910, to join the newly formed Canadian Navy. In 1911, the Royal Naval College of Canada was established at Halifax, with Nixon as Commander in Charge, a position he held until the College was closed by the government in 1922.

The College was moved to Kingston for one term, following the Halifax Explosion of 6 December 1917, and in 1918 it was re-established at the Dockyard at Esquimalt, B.C. In 1920, Commander Nixon was appointed Senior Naval Officer, Esquimalt, in addition to his responsibility for the Royal Naval College of Canada.
