Howard Blackburn

Howard Blackburn di Margaret Fitzhugh Browne, 1929, olio su tela

Howard Blackburn (18591932) è stato un marinaio canadese.

Nativo della Nuova Scozia, Blackburn a 25 anni ebbe un grave incidente: allontanatosi con un compagno dalla nave Grace L. Fears, su una barca al largo di Gloucester, dopo un'improvvisa tempesta di neve perse di vista la nave e riuscì a ritornare in terraferma solo dopo 5 giorni; perse le dita delle mani, e il compagno morì. Dopo varie avventure nel 1879 si imbarcò verso il Klondike alla ricerca dell'oro, e durante la traversata doppiò Capo Horn.

Nel 1899 realizzò in solitario la traversata atlantica in 62 giorni, con uno sloop da lui stesso costruito. Nel 1901 con uno schooner conseguì il record di 39 giorni di traversata atlantica in solitario, da Gloucester al Portogallo[1].
