Henry George Kendall (30 January 1874 – 28 November 1965) was a British sea captain who survived several shipwrecks, including the collision and sinking of the ocean liner Empress of Ireland in 1914 and an attack by a Kaiserliche Marine submarine during the First World War.

Almost a month later the ship sank in Canada's Saint Lawrence River after colliding with the SS Storstad, a Norwegian coal freighter with an ice-breaking bow.

Kendall then joined the crew of HMS Calgarian and served with the ship until 1918, during which time he was mentioned in despatches on several occasions.

When the war ended he was appointed Marine Superintendent at Southampton by Canadian Pacific and remained there until he moved to a similar position in London in 1924.

Nurses attending Kendall on his death bed reported that in his delirium he seemed to be reliving the horror of a ship wreck.
