Sir Thomas Dale (c. 1570 – 19 August 1619) was an English naval commander who served as deputy-governor of the Virginia Colony in 1611 and again from 1614 to 1616. Dale is best remembered for the energy and the extreme rigour of his administration in Virginia, which established order and in various ways seems to have benefited the colony,[1] although he was criticised for high-handedness. He is also credited with the establishment of Bermuda Hundred, Bermuda Cittie, and the Cittie of Henricus.
