William Jackman (20 May 1837 – 25 February 1877) was a Newfoundland sealing captain and sailing master. Jackman was born in Renews, Newfoundland.[1] Like his younger brother Arthur, Jackman commanded sealing vessels for Bowring Brothers. Jackman is best known for the rescue at Spotted Island off the coast of Labrador on 9 October 1867. Jackman witnessed the Sea Slipper[2] run aground with 27 people aboard.[3] Jackman swam back and forth to the vessel eleven times, rescuing eleven people. His crew then tied a rope around his waist and Jackman swam back sixteen more times, rescuing all aboard the doomed ship. On 18 December 1868, for his heroism, he was presented the medal and diploma of the Royal Humane Society.[4][1] Captain William Jackman Hospital in Labrador City is named for him.[5] ReferencesNotes1. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Andrews|first1=C.W.|last2=Story|first2=G.M.|title=Biography – JACKMAN, WILLIAM – Volume X (1871-1880) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography|url=http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio.php?id_nbr=5060|website=Dictionary of Canadian Biography|accessdate=1 April 2017}} 2. ^Some sources call the ship Sea Clipper, others Sea Slipper; the latter is used in the newspaper accounts of the time; the former by the Canadian Dictionary of National Biography. 3. ^{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=shWPE-0vzVEC&pg=PA45 | title=Outrageous Seas: Shipwreck and Survival in the Waters Off Newfoundland, 1583-1893 | publisher=McGill-Queen's Press | author=Baehre, Rainer | year=1999 | pages=45 | isbn=9780886293192}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY BRONZE MEDALS|url=http://www.lsars.org.uk/bronz68s.htm|website=www.lsars.org.uk|accessdate=1 April 2017}} Case numbers 18091 & 18112 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Bonikowsky|first1=Laura Neilson|title=The Heroism of William Jackman|url=http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/the-heroism-of-william-jackman-feature/|website=The Canadian Encyclopedia|accessdate=31 March 2017|language=en}} Citations{{reflist}}External links
