Benjamin Morrell

Benjamin Morrell (* 5. Juli 1795 in Rye, Westchester County, New York; † 1839 in Portugiesisch-Ostafrika) war ein US-amerikanischer Segelkapitän und Forscher, der zwischen 1822 und 1831 eine Reihe von Seereisen unternahm, hauptsächlich zum Südpolarmeer und zu den Inseln des Pazifiks, die er in den durch einen Ghostwriter verfassten Memoiren A Narrative of Four Voyages beschrieb. Er will im Dezember 1822 als erster die Bouvet-Insel betreten haben. Seine Beschreibung der Insel ist eindeutig den Schilderungen Lindsays und Norris’ entnommen (→ Thompsoninsel (Südatlantik)).
