Admiral Bedford Clapperton Trevelyan Pim, RN, MP, FRGS (12 June 1826 - 30 September 1886) was a Royal Navy officer, Arctic explorer, barrister, and author. He was the first man who traveled from a ship on the eastern side of the Northwest Passage to one on the western side. Pim was born in Bideford, Devon, England, son of Edward Bedford Pim of Weirhead, Exeter, a British navy officer who died of yellow fever in 1830 off the coast of Africa while engaged in the suppression of the slave trade, and Sophia Soltau Harrison, eldest daughter of John Fairweather Harrison, Esquire of Totnes. Educated at the Royal Naval School, the younger Pim went to India in the British Merchant Navy, and in 1842, upon his return to England, was appointed a volunteer in the Royal Navy.
