Nehemiah Bourne
Nehemiah Bourne (c.1611–1690)〔(Geni: Bourne Family genealogy )〕 was an English Royal Navy Admiral.
==Background==
Bourne, in his earlier days apparently a merchant and shipowner, served in the Parliamentary Army during the civil war, and on the remodelling of the fleet after William Batten's secession, having then the rank of major, was appointed to the command of the ''Speaker'', a ship of the second-rate. As captain of the ''Speaker'' he was for two years commander-in-chief on the coast of Scotland, and in September 1651 carried the Scottish records, regalia, and insignia taken in Stirling Castle to London, for which services he afterwards received a gold medal of the value of £60.
In 1652 he was captain of the ''Andrew'', and in May was senior officer in The Downs, wearing a flag by special authority from Blake, when, on the 18th, the Dutch fleet under Maarten Tromp anchored off Dover. It was thus Bourne who sent, both to the council of state and to Blake, the intimation of Tromp's presence on the coast, and who commanded that division of the fleet which had so important a share in the Battle of Goodwin Sands.
