James Gibson (seaman)
James Gibson (1700 – 1752) was a British ship Captain who became a merchant in the British Colonies of Jamaica and the Province of Massachusetts Bay. During King George's War(1744–1748), William Shirley, the Governor of Massachusetts, debated whether to siege and capture the French Fortress of Louisburg on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. According to Gibson's journal, he convinced Governor Shirley that the siege would be successful, and used his personal wealth to provide three hundred soldiers for the campaign.〔Johnson Memorial, 131.〕 Gibson wrote an account of the Siege of Louisburg and it was published in London in late 1745.
