  Richard Whitbourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Sir Richard Whitbourne (1579 – 1628) was an English colonist, author and mariner.
He was asked by William Vaughan to govern his colony at Renews in Newfoundland and did so from 1618 until 1620 when Vaughan abandoned the venture.

Whitbourne amassed evidence from 170 masters of English fishing vessels but, judging from later controversies between the colonists and the fishing merchants, his action was no more effective than Guy’s; indeed, it is difficult to see what one man could have been expected to accomplish.
In 1625 Whitbourne was knighted by Falkland but, by November 1626, he was looking for fresh employment.
Whitbourne’s books are: A discourse and discovery of New-found-land (London, 1620), of which there is a ms draft in Whitbourne’s own hand in the BM, Add.

The settlement was renamed in honour of Richard Whitbourne in 1889 at the suggestion of Colonial Secretary (and later Prime Minister) Robin Bond who purchased a large tract of land on Junction Pond, where he erected a country estate and model farm, the Grange.
Whitbourne had six sawmills in I911 and 13 in 1921, but the sawmilling industry was plagued by a series of forest fires, many of them caused by the trains.
The fishery was never a large part of Whitbourne's economy, though trout and salmon were taken in the area and sports fishermen accounted for a large percentage of the clients of Whitbourne's hotels.

 Profiles of Governors: Sir Richard Whitbourne, 1618-1620
When Whitbourne anchored at Renews in 1618, he found the colony in a lamentable state, the settlers not having even constructed satisfactory shelters.
Whitbourne wrote several books, including A Discourse and Discovery of the New-Found-Land, published in 1620, whose purpose was to promote the colonization of the island; nonetheless, it appears that the settlement was abandoned that same year.
Whitbourne returned to Renews twice between 1622 and 1626 to visit the colony of Henry Cary, or Lord Falkland, which was at that time governed by Francis Tanfield.

Whitbourne was beginning to see a bit of reason through his intoxication, and just about to head back, when suddenly he dipped down low enough that his wing slapped the water.
A small part of Whitbourne's rational mind was screaming at him that this was the mermaid and he was under her control, but the rest of him couldn't care less.
Whitbourne my son, ye's got to get a grip on yourself and not go rushing off under a mermaid's power.~ Still, there was a tiny voice inside of him that wondered if maybe that mermaid was telling the truth, and if she was, what Demona was going to do to them.

Richard Whitbourne, "Discourse and Discovery of New-Found-Land" (London, 1620)
Whitbourne's text overlaps at several points with the other two: notably, in the coincident use of the place name "New Found Land" and also in an encounter with Ralegh's captains as they returned from the second, fatal voyage to Guiana.
Yet for a number of reasons, Whitbourne's text -- which represents not only a larger body of print material on Newfoundland but also a vast amount of English experience there -- suggests an alternate account of England's early relations with the Americas.
