John Vincent Boatswain
A former navy sailor and trawlerhand, Vincent was the
strongest man aboard, and he used his brawniness at times in a
bullying way—until
Shackleton
put him in his place. Shackleton chose him for the journey to
South Georgia, very likely both for his strength and to keep
an eye on him. Note: No photo is available of Vincent.
