Thyge Andersen Enevoldsen: May 2010

A Respected Man

"Sir - I feel it incumbent upon me to express in true words, simple though they may be, how deeply sorry I was to learn of the tragic death of Mr Enevoldson, Skipper of the trawler Lord Deramore. Skipper Enevoldson was beloved by all who knew him, for his exceptional quality of modesty, blended with human sympathy and courage. A man who despised publicity, he was one of Hull's most competent skippers.
Skipper Enevoldson died as he would have wished, on the sea that he so dearly loved, and in his words of good wishes for his son's safety he revealed his true character of unselfishness at the very last".

A.W. Burghes
1933

I have started to expand on the life story of Thyge but there is so much to include. Well, Rome wasn't built in a day>

I can now truely state that the blog site which I have dedicated to my GrandFather Thyge Andersen Enevoldson is up and running. Of course Thyge was grandfather to many children and it is my hope that the living decendants of Thyge wherever they now live will not only read this blog but will also help me by providing me with memories, facts and figures, photographs and other information which I can use to develop the blog as a source of information.

Cousin Thyge Enevolson, now living in Australia has provided me with some great memories of his visits to Gadshill. He has also given some clarity around the timing of the photo taken of the Gadshill group in 1952. I have incorporated these changes into the Gadshill section.
