Ned Myers Ned Myers (born 1793) was an American sailor. Born in Quebec as a British subject, Myers grew up in Halifax after being abandoned by his father. He moved to New York City at the age of eleven, cherishing the dream of becoming a sailor.〔 Two years later, while serving aboard the merchant ship ''Sterling'', Myers would meet James Fenimore Cooper, who would later write a biography of him titled ''Ned Myers, or, a Life Before the Mast'' (1843).〔Taylor, p.106〕 Myers rejected his status as a British subject and became an American citizen, something that would cause him trouble when he was captured by a Royal Navy warship in the summer of 1812.〔Taylor, pp. 3-4〕 He was a survivor of the sinking of the USS ''Scourge''. However, Myers would live through the War of 1812, meeting with Cooper in 1843 for the authoring of his biography.〔Keese〕 ==References==
