Thyge Andersen Enevoldsen: October 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".

Leonard Enevoldson's visit to Denmark in 1933


Leonard Enevoldson 1933

Leonard Andersen Enevoldson was born in 1910 and was the second child born to Thyge and his second wife Gertrude. This photograph of Leonard was taken in 1933 when he returned to the Holmsland to visit his Danish cousins. The young lady with arms draped over Leonard is Krista Andersen, his 1st cousin once removed. Krista would have been 15 years of age at the time of the photograph. Krista later married Andreas Veise and she maintained contact with her English cousins up until her death in 2001.

Leonard lived in Hull all of his life, working as a Fish Merchant on the Hull Fish Dock. He married Patricia and they lived happily together until January 2001 when sadly they both died with days of eachother. Leonard was affectionately known as Uncle Tubby by his many nieces and nephews.
