Sea captain, member of the Virginia Company, treasurer of the Jamestown Colony and the notorious second Governor of Bermuda.

Tucker was cape merchant (treasurer) in Jamestown during the Starving Time, and developed habits of extreme discipline.

Bermuda was settled by the Virginia Company through the chance wrecking there of its flagship, the Sea Venture. Later another boat arrived with a shipload of new settlers. Bermuda quickly became self-sufficient and its requirements were quite different from the still-struggling Jamestown.

Tucker was appointed as Governor however he found the people lazy and uninspired, and imposed a stern discipline on the colony that was generally resented. Within days of his arrival he had a man hanged for speaking derisively of him and his methods.

Tuckers saw that food was essential to a successful colony. Under his rule, crops were planted, rats (accidentally introduced by a visiting privateer) reduced, fishing routines established, and living accommodations built.
