Well now, I don't know if this the kind of information you are looking for, but in the 16th century there was a navigator/privateer named Simon Fernandez who, after his career on the high seas may possibly have ended up owning a tavern in London. Fernandez was Portuguese but navigated on the Roanoke voyages sent from England. He was the navigator for the 1587 voyage which took the colonists to Roanoke Island. They subsequently became known as 'the lost colony'. He did lots of other things, too, so this is just a thumbnail sketch.
