Same rules, questions must be answerable with a "Yes", or "No", and hints at 5, 10 and if it gets that far, 15

So ... I'm thinking of a person

… before you go too far down this track, it may be fair to point out that he was not a Sailor but an Administrator. Apologies, maybe I should have quantified that at 5) Yes … but not a sailor

12) John Montagu Spot on! 4th Earl of Sandwich, 3 times 1st Lord of the Admiralty, had Sandwich Isles (now Hawaii), and other places connected with Montague named after him by, James Cook.

The clue for 15 would have been ‘Legend has him responsible for a convenience food’ which seems now not to be the case, see http://www.sandwich.org.uk/news.asp?id=21

Just in case the link doesn’t come through Google ‘the World of Sandwiches’ UK pages

Someone else want to set one up ?
