Warren Brown (sailor)

Warren Brown (1929 – 25 December 2014) was a Bermudian sailor and businessman. He took part in the Newport-Bermuda Race 20 times in 11 different boats, including four of his own. He was also a co-founder of the Island Press, which produced the now defunct Bermuda Sun newspaper.[1][2]

Personal life

Brown, at three months old, was among those who survived a shipwreck on 18 December 1929, when the RMS Fort Victoria was rammed by the SS Algonquin while anchored in dense fog.[2] All aboard the Fort Victoria were rescued before she sank.[3]
