The Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty were the members of the Board of Admiralty, which excercised command over the British Royal Navy. The Lord High Admiral was the head of this Board of Admiralty, and he even had a Council of the Lord High Admiral which assisted him in executing command over the entirety of the British Royal Navy. Henceforth, the Lord High Admiral sat at the head of the Board of Admiralty, as was followed in power by the First Lord of the Admiralty.
