Sir James Gordon Partridge Bisset, CBE, RD (15 July 1883 - 28 March 1967) was a British merchant sea captain who served as Commodore of the Cunard White Star Line (1944–47). He documented his fifty-year sea career in a three volume autobiography: ''Sail Ho! My Early Years at Sea'' (1958); ''Tramps and Ladies – My Early Years in Steamers'' (1959) and ''Commodore – War, Peace and Big Ships'' (1961). In addition, Bisset authored ''Lifeboat Efficiency'' (1924) which became the primary text used by the British Merchant Marine until the Second World War for instructing merchant seaman in lifeboat utilization and handling, and ''Ship Ahoy ! : Nautical Notes for Ocean Travellers'' (c.1930), a treatise on shipboard operations for the edification of passengers. He served in or commanded Cunard liners including ''Caronia'', ''Franconia'', ''Mauretania'', ''Aquitania'', ''Berengaria'', ''Queen Mary'' and ''Queen Elizabeth''.
== Early life ==
James Bisset was born in Liverpool, UK, on 15 July 1883, the son of Scottish father, James Smith Bisset of Blairgowrie, Perthshire, UK and an English mother, Ellen Butler of Bolton, Lancashire, UK. The second of six children, James attended St Saviour's Infant School in Liverpool and later the Granby Street Board School. In 1897 at fourteen years of age, he was apprenticed as an office clerk in the Liverpool branch of the London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company. After listening to the sea stories of one of his "uncles" (a close friend of the Bisset family), James decided to stow away on a windjammer in 1897 but was discovered and returned home. Late in 1897, he was apprenticed as a junior clerk in the Liverpool office of the Anglo-American Oil company.
