William Gilmer was a United States Navy Captain who served as both the 22nd and 24th Naval Governor of Guam. His administration proved controversial because of the control he exercised over the activities of the island. He outlawed alcohol, smoking, and whistling. He died on January 8, 1955.

Comment guidelines

This space is for adding context.

Stay on topic. Share what you know and how you know it.
Criticize ideas, not people. No personal attacks, slurs, threats or harassment.
Link a source for factual claims when you can. No spam or ads.
Use one name. Pseudonyms are fine, but pretending to be someone else isn’t.
