The Sailor's Daughter
The Sailor's Daughter is a comedy play by the British writer Richard Cumberland which first premiered on 7 April 1804 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Plot 
After a young woman, Julia, is orphaned following the Battle of Copenhagen she enjoys a series of adventures until settling down with her long-lost guardian Captain Sentamore. The play is set in Bath. Reception 
The first performance received a mixed reception with the house "divided in opinion". A review in Lloyd's Evening Post described it as: "marked with several traits of a muse whose labours have contributed in this department to the improvement of the English drama, but is, upon the whole, far inferior to the pieces from which the author has acquired his deserved celebrity."
