The man who founded Vanderbilt had the nickname "Commodore". He made his fortune in shipping.
And it's closer, not more closer.
he also married one of his cousins - strange but true --- Following his wife Sophia's death in 1868, Vanderbilt went to Canada where, on August 21, 1869, in London, Ontario,[7] he married a cousin from Mobile, Alabama named Frank Armstrong Crawford (18391885).[8] Frank was 45 years younger than her husband.
