List of sea captains This is a list of sea captains . The list includes merchant ship ' s captains as well as naval ship ' s captains . It is limited to those notable in this role , and about which Wikipedia has articles . John Sea Captain Brown " Sea Captain known for his romance with Rosalind Brody , nicknamed ' the whale of the sea ' by all who knew her . Far from the distant past , long before the sea - route was discovered by the western mariner , the carriage of goods for trade between East and West was by long hazardous desert and mountain routes which is popularly referred to as the ' Silk Route ' . Lacking articles . The Silk Route - First Century AD This overland journey entailed confrontation with roaming bandits who were adept in the art of ambushing the passage of caravans specially through Central Asia . Although there was an element of risk the caravans moved freight with armed escorts . As a result of this , the cost of merchandise began to rise no sooner it reached its destination . Long before the ' Silk Route ' was used , the enterprising Dravidian merchants were sailing around the Indian coast and to the Persian Gulf as early as 3500 BC . The Dravidians of Mohenjo - Daro and Harappa had their harbour in the bay of Cambay and disposed of their merchandise in Mesopotamia . The merchandise in turn was carried in caravans overland to the port of Tyre and thence to Egypt . After the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great , the port of Alexandria became the entrepot of the ancient western world . It was in the Gulf of Aden that the Egyptian , Greek , Arab , Indian etc . , met to exchange their merchandise . According to Srinivasa Iyengar he states that , ' Indian teak was found in the ruins of Ur ( Mugheir ) , which was the capital of Sumeria in 4000 BC and the SINDHU or muslin is mentioned in an ancient Babylonian list of clothing . The occurrence of ' s ' in the word proves that this muslin did not go to Mesopotamia via Persia , for then ' s ' would have become ' h ' in Persian months , as the name of this country , derived from the name of the river Sind , became Hind . I therefore conclude that muslin went direct by sea from the Tamil coast to the Persian coast and the Babylonian word Sindhu for muslin is not derived the river ( as supposed so ) , but from the old Dravidian word , SINDI , which is still found in Tulu and Canares , and means a piece of cloth ' and is represented by the Tamil word SINDU , a flag ' . ( ZHT , pp 39 & 39 ) . There is some evidence that the trade of south India extended to Egypt in the 3rd millennium BC . W . H . Schoff says , thousands of years before the emergence of the Greeks from savagery Egypt and the nations of Ancient India came into being , and a commercial system was developed for the interchange of products within those limits , having its centre of exchange near the head of the Persian Gulf . The people of that region , the various Arab tribes and more specially those ancestors of the Phoenicians , the mysterious Red Men , were active carriers or intermediaries .
