Thomas Benjamin Frederick Davis
Thomas Benjamin Frederick Davis (25 April 1867, Havre des Pas, Saint Helier, Jersey – October 1942, Durban, South Africa) was a wealthy businessman, yachtsman and philanthropist.
==Early life and education==
Thomas Davis was born at Havre des Pas, St Helier, Jersey on 25 April 1867, the son of Thomas Leopold Davis, a fisherman and ship's carpenter, and Jemima Vickers.
The Davis family lived at Havre des Pas which in the 1860s had a strong boat building industry. Davis was educated at St Luke's Elementary School. His parents struggled to get the twopence a week they had to pay as a contribution to his education. Davis did not go on to higher education but instead went to sea as a ship's boy aged 15 on the vessel ''Satellite'', a 245 ton three masted schooner owned by R & George Allix of Havre des Pas, Jersey but registered in Guernsey.
