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