Captain John Black (31 October 1778– c. May 1802), was an English-born ship's officer who had many adventures in his short career. His best remembered adventure concerned the mutiny on Lady Shore in August 1797, a ship that had been sailing with a cargo of soldiers and female convicts to Sydney, Australia. In 1798 his father, the Reverend John Black (1753–1813), a prolific writer of prose and poetry, published his son's letters which gave an account of the mutiny on board the ship, when his son had been put into a small boat and left to find his way to safety with several other members of the crew. The book was dedicated as a "small testimony of gratitude to the Portuguese nation" for the "unequalled hospitality" extended to his son and his fellows in the Portuguese colonies that are now part of Brazil.
