William Albert Hickman (22 Dec 1878, New Brunswick – 10 Sep 1957) was a Canadian designer and manufacturer of innovative fast boats. He is best known as the inventor of the Hickman Sea Sled.
R.S. Pridham moved a branch of his Amherst-based photographic studio to Sackville, NB perhaps as early as 1895. He continued operating a studio under that name until at least 1911 when E. P. Smith purchased the photography business operated by R. S. Pridham in the Pridham Block on York Street in Sackville. Apparently, later the firm was organized as E. P. Smith and Sons. Perhaps when the studio was operated by Pridham, Hickman hired Pridham to take some photographs (e.g., for his handbook or other purposes). Alternatively, and perhaps more likely, perhaps Hickman took or otherwise obtained all the photographs in this collection and then hired Pridham to create and hand-colour a large series of magic lantern slides intended for use in public presentations.

William Albert Hickman (22 Dec 1878, New Brunswick – 10 Sep 1957) was a Canadian designer and manufacturer of innovative fast boats. He is best known as the inventor of the Hickman Sea Sled.
Born in Dorchester, New Brunswick, Hickman grew up in Pictou, Nova Scotia, as part of a wealthy shipbuilding family. He earned a degree in marine engineering from Harvard University in 1899. He was named a Commissioner of New Brunswick and was situated in London, England to encourage immigration to NB through lectures and demonstrations using lantern slides. A lecturer for the Government, a Fellow of the Royal Colonial Institute and a successful novelist.[1]
He was highly intelligent but, openly, did not suffer fools gladly and was forever irritating his contemporaries in the marine business. This probably contributed to the low coverage of his ideas in the boating press.[2
