I am pleased to have this opportunity to acknowledge the achievements of a citizen of Southbury. believed to be the oldest living man to have rounded Cape Horn five times under sail. Captain Dicksons career began in 1915 when he. holding both British and United States masters licenses. sailed as a cadet on the Medway. a fourmasted British training ship. This 2.200ton historical vessel is one of the last of its kind to round the cape. In 1930 Captain Dickson emigrated to the United States. going to work for the United Fruit Co. During World War II. though not yet a citizen. Captain Dickson. served with the merchant marines. carrying supplies to GIs around the globe.
