The English sailor and administrator Henry Worsley Hill (21 May 1799 – 14 October 1868) was a captain in the Royal Navy and Governor of the Gold Coast.
In January 1828, he was posted to HMS Tribune, serving on the Royal Navy's South American station, and remained in this assignment until December 1831.
[1] In December 1834 Hill returned to HMS Melville, now the flagship of John Gore, in the East Indies for twelve months.
[2] During his tenure of command of HMS Saracen, Hill captured the Spanish slave-holding schooner Labradora on 31 March 1839 and emancipated its cargo of 248 slaves.
This treaty, signed by several chiefs, established British law in the area, including the abolition of human sacrifice and panyarring.
