George Camocke (c. 1666 – c. 1722) was an Anglo-Irish naval officer. Camocke was a Jacobite renegade who became an admiral for Spain.[1] He served in the Royal Navy during the reigns of William III, Queen Anne and George I. Camocke was dismissed from the Royal Navy for disciplinary breaches. Camocke then joined the Spanish Navy. He died in exile after his favour had run out with the Spanish navy.
