Thyge Andersen Enevoldsen

Thyge Andersen Enevoldsen

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".

The Bible

On the day of the consecration, Gertrude Enevoldson, Thyge's wife, presented a Bible to the congregation.  The Bible has been lovingly cared for by each passing generation and is still present in the Mission House today.  Over the years, when the children of Thyge and Gertrude Enevoldson visited the Mission House they signed the Bible.

First to sign was Thyge's son Leonard Anderson Enevoldson when he visited the Mission in August 1933, not long after Thyge's death.  Daughter Audrey and her brother Leslie visited in June 1978.  Son Stuart and his wife Vera visited in June 1985.  Son John visited in October 1996 and Iver and his wife Marian and sister Audrey visited in 1993.
