Matthew Somers (fl. 1609 – c. 1624) was an English mariner, captain, and shareholder in the Virginia Company of London who played a small but pivotal role in the early history of Bermuda and the Jamestown colony. A nephew of Admiral Sir George Somers, founder of Bermuda, Matthew commanded vessels in the company’s Third Supply, helped ferry the starving survivors of Jamestown back from the brink of collapse, and controversially repatriated his uncle’s embalmed body to Lyme Regis, Dorset, in 1611.
