Basil Hall

Royal Navy officer (1788-1844) · Historical Figures · Died at 55

Basil Hall was a British naval officer from Scotland, a traveller, and an author. He was the second son of Sir James Hall, 4th Baronet, an eminent man of science.

Basil Hall is read about 17 times a day, in 7 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 11 October 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 120 days, one point a day.
