  1. I nominate Sir Cloudesley Shovell, not just for his silly name, but he caused the Scilly Naval Disaster, in which he sailed his ships into rocks of the coast of scilly and Four large ships, HMS Association, the third-rate HMS Eagle, the fourth-rate HMS Romney and the fire ship HMS Firebrand all sank, he himself d ied and so did 2,000 others. There is also a story that alleges that a common sailor on the flagship tried to warn Shovell that the fleet was off course but Shovell had him hanged at the yardarm for inciting mutiny. Even if not true the fact that people find him that incompetent, that they'd believe something like that, is a testament to his nomination for the Darwin Award.
