Samuel Robinson (sea captain)
Commander Sir Samuel Robinson (1870–1958), born in Hull, England,〔Hammer, Joshua. (2006). (''Yokohama Burning: The Deadly 1923 Earthquake and Fire that Helped Forge the Path to World War II,'' p. 60. )〕 was an early 20th-century British-Canadian mariner,〔( National Maritime Museum, Greenwich )〕 a Commander〔Wilson, John W. and Roger Perkins. (1985). ( ''Angels in Blue Jackets: The Navy at Messina, 1908,'' p. 105. )〕 in the Royal Naval Reserve established under the Naval Reserve Act of 1859, and a captain of luxury liners in the fleet of Canadian Pacific Steamship Ocean Service Ltd. during the period spanning the first three decades of the 20th century.〔( "Capt. Samuel Robinson, Who Won Fame For Rescue Work in Jap Quake, Dies," ) ''New York Times.'' 7 September 1958.〕 In addition, Samuel was the recipient of the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Chrysanthemum, Japan's highest order. He was one of three civilians to ever have received this honour while still living (the only others being members of the Japanese Imperial family).
==Royal Naval Reserve==
The Pacific fleet of the Canadian Pacific Railway tended to hire its officers from the Royal Naval Reserves, and much was made of their long and faithful service to the company.〔Tate, E. Mowbray. (1986). ( ''Transpacific Steam: The Story of Steam Navigation from the Pacific Coast of North America to the Far East and the Antipodes, 1867-1941,'' p. 238. )〕 Although Robinson's job description was "captain," his title was "Commander" because he had earned that rank during his service in the Royal Naval Reserve.〔Musk, George. (1981). ( ''Canadian Pacific: The Story of the Famous Shipping Line,'' p.145. )〕 During World War I, Robinson captained the ''Empress of Asia'' which transported American troops from New York to Southampton, England.〔
