Captain Aaron Flint 'Rudder' Churchill

Aaron Flint Churchill was born in 1850 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. At 16, he was first mate on his uncle George Washington Churchill's sailing ship the Research, sailing from Quebec to Scotland. On November 26, 1866, a violent storm struck the Research, ripping its sails, damaging the deckhouses and unshipping the rudder, rendering it loose and useless. Aaron stood 6 feet tall and had considerable strength. He volunteered to be lowered by rope into the freezing ocean, and after three hours in the raging storm, he secured the misbehaved rudder. During the next 60 days at sea, storms continued to batter the Research. Aaron repeated his efforts eight more times to secure the rudders fashioned from spare boards and materials from the wrecked wheelhouse. The Research finally reached Greenoch, Scotland after 88 days at sea - a voyage that was expected to take only 28 days.

The entire ordeal was christened 'The Voyage of Many Rudders,' by Lloyds of London, who were underwriters of the cargo. Lloyds awarded Aaron Flint Churchill with a silver watch, an engraved sextant and a cash bonus that became the foundation for Aaron's own company, 'The Churchill Steamship Lines.' He was thereafter called Captain Aaron 'Rudder' Churchill. Captain Churchill later came to have several patents, including one that improved Eli Whitney's cotton gin. He owned several plantations in the Savannah-Brunswick area and had considerable real estate and banking interests.\

The house in Savannah, currently The Forsyth Park Inn, if the exaggeration of newspaper accounts is to be trusted, was even more grand than the "Ball-Roomed" and "Widow-walked", Anchorage, outside Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, later to be known as "Churchill Mansion". In fact after its purchase, its steamship owner, had it rebuilt as a larger replica of his Yarmouth property: "Mr. Churchill purchased one of the handsomest residential properties in Savannah, erected by one of its wealthiest residents, to which he has added befitting a shipping scion reported to be among the wealthiest Nova Scotians, resident in the United States."
