Captain Ahab. If only he had a worthy crew, that abominable whale would have got what was coming to him.

Also I feel Captain Bligh gets a bum wrap. He crew largely seems to have been made up of miscreants who then killed each other after the mutiny and Bligh himself was able to navigate thousands of miles at sea without much in the way of instruments to get the remaining members of the crew who didn't mutiny to safety.
