  Albert Hickman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Albert Edgar Hickman (August 2, 1875-February 9, 1943) was a politician and businessman who served as Prime Minister of Newfoundland for 33 days in 1924 as leader of a caretaker administration after the successive collapses of the Liberal Reform Party governments of Prime Ministers Sir Richard Squires and William Warren.
The governor asked Hickman to form an administration to govern the province when the government of William Warren was defeated in a Motion of No Confidence.
Hickman served as Leader of the opposition until he retired from politics in 1928 by which time his party had degenerated and a new Liberal Party had emerged led by Squires.

 History of the IVB
Hickman has invented a type of boat that is more seaworthy and will carry more load, and at the same time is much faster and more efficient than anything in the world that I know of.
Hickman licensed us to use surface propellers and they were placed in a tunnel well forward of the rudders.
Hickman, the inventor is also a noted author, his patent a contribution to science, and Hickman, the man, is a philosopher.

Moreover, some opposition politicians, who were also merchant-exporters, such as Albert Hickman and John Crosbie, also created considerable uneasiness among exporters through their actions in encouraging the officials of the Consorzio to hold out and break the regulations policy.
While the government cancelled Hickman's license for this breaching of the Regulations--he, in turn, simply got another license in his general manager's name--his action had the desired effect and two other exporters, one of whom was Munn, followed suit, believing that the Consorzio would lift its import regulations if the Coaker Regulations were dropped.
Hickman's faction was called the Liberal-Progressive Party, while the Warren-Higgins regrouped itself as the Liberal-Conservative Party under St. John's businessman Walter S. Monroe who won 25 seats to Hickman's 10.

 From: Ken Handman
The Scientific America quote described the Hickman Sea Sled, a radical boat design patented in 1914 by Canadian William Albert Hickman.
In 1918 Hickman built a 50-foot, high speed torpedo boat in an attempt to convince the Allied navies that a small, fast boat with a huge load-carrying potential could wreck havoc among large slow enemy ships in WWI.
The full Hickman story is reads like a novel about an eccentric inventor with a brilliant idea who had the potential of radically changing the way yachts and ships were built.

The series is regional in its scope: it is “aimed at offering contemporary readers access to books that were successful, often huge bestsellers in their time, but which are now little known and often hard to find” and which are written by Maritime writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Beautiful Joe is not plot-driven: the narrative is constructed as a series of linked vignettes, initially imagined, we are told, by the eponymous narrator, as a year-by-year account of his life following his rescue from an abusive owner, but becoming instead a loose chain of accounts of human behaviour to animals, observed by animals.
Albert Hickman’s only novel, The Sacrifice of the Shannon, first appeared in 1903, identified in the author’s preface as a story based on his own experiences on the Minto, an icebreaker in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

However there is no property connection between the three houses - all appear to have been built independently.
Bartra was built in 1906 for W.S. Monroe who owned the house until 1908 when it was sold it to W.D. Reid of the Newfoundland Railway and subsequently to A.E. Hickman, founder of what is now the Hickman group of companies.
The political history of the house has an interesting irony in that the first owner, WalterMonroe, succeeded the third, Albert Hickman, as Prime Minister of Newfoundland in 1924.
