Duke William (ship)
The ''Duke William'' was a ship which served as a troop transport at the Siege of Louisbourg and as a deportation ship in the Île Saint-Jean Campaign of the Expulsion of the Acadians during the Seven Years' War. While the ''Duke William'' was transporting Acadians from Île St Jean (Prince Edward Island) to France, the ship sank in the North Atlantic on December 13, 1758, with the loss of over 360 lives. The sinking was one of the greatest marine disasters in Canadian history.〔S. Scott and T. Scott, "(Noel Doiron and the East Hants Acadians )", ''Journal of the Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society'', Vol. 11, 2008, pp 45–60.〕

Captain William Nichols of Norfolk, England, was the commander and co-owner of the ''Duke William'' when it sank. Nichols survived the sinking and received international attention when his journal recounting the tragic incident was published in popular print throughout the 19th century in England and America.〔The publications included John Frost, ''The Book of Good Examples Drawn from History and Biography'', New York: 1846, p.65; ''The Saturday Magazine'' (1821), p. 502; Reuben Percy and Sholto Percy, ''Percy's Anecdotes'', New York (1826), p. 44.; and George Winslow Barrington, ''Remarkable Voyages and Shipwrecks''. London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent and Co. (c. 1880).〕 Several years after the sinking of the ''Duke William'', Nichols also received international attention when he was taken captive by American patriots during the American Revolution.〔Letter to George Washington from Henry Lee Jr. dated November 8, 1777, "The Papers of George Washington: Revolutionary War", 12 pp. 168–169.〕
