'''Sir Abraham Shipman''' was an [[Kingdom of England|Englishman]] appointed as governor of [[Bombay]] during the period of the [[Honourable East India Company]]. He assumed the office in March 1662 and died in office in October 1664, but did not gain possession of Bombay.<br />
<br />
On 19 March 1662, Shipman was appointed the first Governor and General of the city of Bombay, and his fleet arrived there in about September or October 1662. On being asked to hand over Bombay and Salsette to the English, the Portuguese governor contended that the island of Bombay alone had been ceded, and on the ground of some alleged irregularity in the form of the [[letters patent]], he refused to give up even Bombay. The [[Viceroy]] of [[Portuguese India]] declined to interfere, and Shipman was prevented from landing in Bombay. He died on the island of [[Anjadip Island, Karnataka|Anjediva]] in [[North Canara]] in October 1664.<br />
