The son of John Randell and Mary Fowler, he was born in Port Rexton and was educated there and at the Navigation School in St. John's. He left school at a young age to work with his father in the Labrador fishery. He earned his mate's certificate in 1892 and his master's certification in 1895.[2] Randell was first given command of a ship in 1895.[1] He later commanded vessels engaged in Arctic exploration for the government of Canada.[2] Randell was commander of the Bellaventure which rescued 420 members of the crew of the SS Newfoundland who had survived what is now known as the 1914 sealing disaster.[2] The men had endured two nights of freezing rain and blowing snow on the North Atlantic ice fields without shelter or food. One of the rescued men died shortly afterwards in St. John's where the survivors had been brought for medical care. The crew of the Bellaventure also recovered the bodies of 69 men who had not survived the ordeal.[1][2] Randell joined A.H. Murray and Co. in 1920, was their agent in Brazil for 14 months and later became a director for the firm.[1] In 1903, he married Effie Beatrice Taylor. The couple had two sons and five daughters.[3] Randell was first elected to the Newfoundland assembly in 1923 and was reelected in 1924. He was named to the Legislative Council of Newfoundland in 1931. He died in St. John's in 1942.[4] References1. ^{{cite journal |url=http://www.cnrs-scrn.org/northern_mariner/vol03/tnm_3_3_15-48.pdf |title=Newfoundland Spring Sealing Disasters to 1914 |last=Ryan |first=Shannon |publisher=Canadian Nautical Research Society |journal=The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du nord |volume=III |issue=3 |pages=15–48 |date=July 1993}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Randell, Isaac R}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.heritage.nf.ca/law/sealing_disaster.html |title=The 1914 Sealing Disaster |work=Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage |publisher=Memorial University}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |url=http://collections.mun.ca/cdm/ref/collection/cns_tools/id/26977 |title=Who's who in and from Newfoundland |year=1927 |page=274}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite encyclopedia |url=http://collections.mun.ca/cdm/ref/collection/cns_enl/id/3924 |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador |page=520 |title=Randell, Isaac Robert}} 6 : 1871 births|1942 deaths|Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador MHAs|Members of the Legislative Council of Newfoundland|Nautical captains|Dominion of Newfoundland politicians |
