He served mainly in the West Indies and after his successful expedition in Cartagena he was knighted in 1709. Furthermore, Wager was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty and Treasurer of the Navy around 1734. He was involved in the development of new bases in the Caribbean and was an early innovator in the use of citrus fruits against scurvy. He was subsequently elected MP for Westminster where his opinion was highly regarded, and his written letters survive to this day. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.The most notable likeness of Admiral Sir Charles Wager is a three-quarter-length portrait by Sir Godfrey Kneller in the National Maritime Museum, London.
