Nehemiah Bourne (baptised 26 January 1611, died 1691) was an English naval officer, administrator and ship-owner who fought for Parliament during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. He has been described as "a typical servant of the Commonwealth, a committed radical, energetic, public spirited, yet with a shrewd eye to personal profit."[1]
Originally from Wapping, he emigrated to Massachusetts in 1638, before returning to England in 1644 to take part in the First English Civil War. He later served with the Commonwealth navy during the Anglo-Scottish war (1650–1652) and First Anglo-Dutch War before being appointed to the Navy Office in December 1652. He retained this position until the 1660 Stuart Restoration, and thereafter focused on commercial activities until his death sometime between February and May 1691 in London.
