About Justinian Nutt
Captain Justinian Nutt was a Royal Navy officer. He joined the navy as a captain's servant and spent the first twelve years of his career as a rating. In 1740 he embarked on George Anson's voyage around the world in HMS Centurion, becoming the ship's master. As chief navigator for the expedition Nutt made several errors in the passage around Cape Horn, causing hundreds of seamen to die from scurvy and other ailments. When Centurion captured the Manila galleon Nuestra Señora de Covadonga off the Philippines in 1743, Nutt was promoted to lieutenant and catalogued the treasure in the ship.
