Albert Armitage
Albert Borlase Armitage (2 July 1864 - 31 October 1943) was a Scottish polar explorer and captain in the Royal Navy.
== Early life==
Armitage was born in Balquhidder, near Loch Lubnaig in Perthshire on 2 July 1864. He was one of eight children to S. H. T. Armitage, a Yorkshire doctor, and Alice Armitage.〔Walton 1985, p. 511〕
In 1878 Armitage enlisted as a cadet aboard the Royal Navy's training ship, , which was moored at the time in the River Thames near Greenhithe. At the conclusion of basic training he attempted to resign from the Navy and seek a position with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O), but was prevented from doing so by his father. Instead, Armitage was signed on as an apprentice aboard the former Indian Navy frigate ''Punjaub'', now owned by the East India Company. He sailed with ''Punjaub'' to Calcutta, where he transferred to another Company vessel, the ''Lucknow,'' as Third Mate.〔
After seven years as a Company sailor, Armitage again sought parental consent to join P&O. Approval was received and in 1886 Armitage was appointed Fifth Officer aboard the P&O passenger ship ''Bokhara''〔
