Admittedly not the best captain as he gets taken out two thirds into the film, but at least from my favourite film which features a captain.

Weĺl he or rather they were a captain; the crew wouldn't have called them Dreado or Dreadsy. And here's Wikipedia, which is never wrong:

It is revealed during the course of the story that Roberts is not one man, but a series of individuals who pass the name and reputation to a chosen successor once they are wealthy enough to retire. When the time comes, "Roberts" and his chosen successor sail into port and discharge the crew. Then they hire a new crew, the ex-Roberts staying aboard as first mate and referring to his successor as "Captain Roberts". Once the crew grows accustomed to the new Roberts, the previous captain leaves to enjoy his retirement.

Proper Captains, at least in book form. And yes I think Sharpe is actually a major in that picture...

Ok, was a civilian when she flew, but was captain of her ship for the first and only solo female space flight. She later got to be an Air Force Major general. So maybe a captain at some point...

Probably a less good captain, but surely the winner of the best impressive failure in an attempt to impress someone you’ve just met in the hope of sleeping with them.

Tom G Sharpe

He was incharge of HMS Endurance, a the Royal Navy’s ice breaker. In December 2008, while on an 18-month deployment, Endurance suffered extensive flooding to her machinery spaces and lower accommodation decks. Sea state was 7, so 6 to 9 metre waves, with 2,000 tons of water in the ship
