Books:
Following his retirement from the Royal Navy Frederick Chamier wrote a series of novels with nautical themes.  In doing so he followed in the footsteps of the author Frederick Marryat (1792 - 1848) who also was in the Royal Navy. The two Fredericks had another characteristic in common - they were both of Huguenot descent.

At least two of his books (Jack Adams, the Mutineer and Passion and Principle) were translated into German under the titles Jack Adams, der Meuterer and Leidenschaft und Grundsatz.
