In 1877 he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty and is caricatured as Sir Joseph Porter singing in the operetta HMS Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan: I've always voted according to the will of my party, And I've never thought for myself. I thought so little that they rewarded me By making me ruler of the Queen's House of Lords. During his three years in this position he was known as Pinafore Smith.
