Indre Mission Society completes sale of the Ebenezer Mission House
After 106 years the Ebenezer Mission House at Holmsland Klitvej, Hvide Sande has been sold by the Indre Mission Society to Gadshill DK Filial, the Danish branch of the UK company Gadshill Ltd.
Gadshill Ltd is 100 per cent owned by Charles Enevoldson, the Grandson of Thyge Andersen Enevoldsen.
In 1910 Thyge Andersen Enevoldson donated the necessary funds to enable the Mission House to be built to honour his mother and father. Since that time the house has served as a place of worship for the local community.
However following a recent decision by the local church members to build a new church in the town centre the old building was no longer required.
In order to preserve the building, 63 year old Charles Enevoldson agreed to purchase the house from the Mission Society and the sale was completed in July 2016.

Mark Temple, the Grandson of George Temple who served and sadly died onboard the Lord Deramore has contacted the site. This is what he has to say.
My name is Mark Temple, my grandfather was George Temple, he was the 22 year old Trimmer who also died onboard the Lord Deramore and was close in age to Harold Enevoldson. I read with much interest the material you have posted with regard to the trawlers, it's all so tragic. I would like to pay my respects to my grandfather although I doubt there is a grave of any description. When I was a child I heard a story that there was a grave stone on "some island" but this seams unlikely. Would you know?
I gather moves are afoot to establish a memorial at St Andrew's Quay, Hull. I will chase up on that later. I now live in Australia.
Best wishes to Mark and a big thank you for contacting us.

Obituary to Enevold Thygesen written by Mr Jens Vang Andersen 13 February 1922
Old Enevold Thygesen, the oldest man on Holmsland Klit - a veteran from the war of 1848 - 49, has passed.
He died on Thursday, 9th February 1922, at the age of 94 years and six months.
Old Enevold Thygesen as he was usually called, was born at Sonder Lyngvig in the year of 1827. In his young days he was a fisherman like most people out here. Only 21 years of age, a short time before the war started in 1848, he married Mariane, but being of no means, and Enevold soon to go away to serve as a soldier, they could not afford it, nor did they have the time to start a home of their own.
He went to war serving on one of the navy gun boats and fought in the battle of Fredericia. Later on they bought a small lot of heath where they set up a small house with rooms with mud floor. In this same house, which has certainly undergone a few changes since, Enevold and his wife who died less than three years ago, lived their whole long lives.
They had about 70 years of married life together and lived to celebrate their golden as well as their diamond wedding and even the 65th anniversary of their wedding.
For many years they struggled hard to fight poverty, especially as they had a family of 12 children to raise. But with Enevold and his wife it came to pass as the old truth has it; with the industrious man poverty may get as far as to look through the windows, but she never crosses the threshold. When there was nothing to be fetched from fishing Enevold tackled other tasks and for several years he worked as a diver together with his brother in law, Niels Andersen who was his neighbour.
About 40 years ago, when the children had grown up, he handed the property, large enough to allow for the keeping of 3 cows, to one of his sons by the name of Iver, but the parents stayed on with the son and daughter-in-law with whom they had always had the best of relations.
Many years hence Enevold kept on fishing, until 28 years ago his legs grew weaker and he could no longer stand walking. Then he started making fishing nets, and with this work he busied himself until last autumn, when he had to go to bed.
What a pleasure it was to visit old Enevold Thygesen and his wife and to listen to them telling the story of their lives and struggles, which had not made them dull and stubborn, but led them to their God and Saviour. Old Enevold always had a look of content in his face and you always saw him with a gay smile. He liked reading, without glasses, in his Bible and other devoted books, and he enjoyed singing hymns and songs.
It is true that since his wife died he sometimes saying it with a small sigh, found it lasting too long before God could use him, and lately, bed-ridden with his limbs aching, he might exclaim: "Oh, my Lord and Saviour, have you entirely forgotten me, the old sinner. Oh, let me go home to meet all my dear ones who went before me." And when now calling him the Lord has surely said to him: "Come home to me you old and faithful servant to meet all your dear ones."

The Cuckoo serves in World War 1 as a minesweeper.
The Royal Navy requisitioned the Cuckoo from the Yorkshire Steam Fishing Co. of Hull in 1914 for use as a minesweeper. The ship was returned to commercial use in 1919. At some point in her RN service she was renamed Nightjar.

The Cuckoo
Thyge Andersen Enevoldsen was skipper of the Cuckoo. The steam trawler was built in 1896 by Messrs Cook, Welton and Gemmell at their yard on Humberside. The firm was founded in 1883 on South Bridge Road, Hull, on the Humber bank. The founding partners were William James Cook, Charles Keen Welton and William Gemmell. In 1901-1902 the firm moved to a new yard at Grovehill, Beverley.
Cook and Welton were both born in London, and served apprenticeships as boilermaker and plater respectively in London shipyards. After years of talking about their plans and their vision for how the industry could develop, they scraped together enough funds to form a partnership.
In 1872 they moved up to Hull together when they obtained the contract for the iron work on two warships being built by Earle's Shipbuilding and Engineering Co.
William Gemmell was born in Scotland, and served an apprenticeship as a shipwright at Earle's in Hull. Cook and Gemmell found a kindred spirit and the three went into business together in 1883, leasing property at Sammy's Point, Hull – where The Deep stands today.
Their first ship was an iron sailing smack called the Precursor, built for Robert Hellyer in 1885. The vessel was a success at a time when iron-hulled boats were still in their infancy. Cook, Welton and Gemmell (CWG) quickly showed they could handle any size of contract and more orders followed as their workforce grew.
Thyge writes about the Cuckoo in his log. These are his own words.
"Commenced with the ss Cuckoo on the 24th of Feb 1896 in which I had a ⅛ or 8/64 shares. I paid one hundred pound down and the rest I paid 5% on with the Yorkshire S.T Co. and in one year and six month I was clear. It was then turned into a limited Liability Company of £30000 in 3000 ten pound shares. I got my share one hundred and eighty seven shares which was my share in the Cuckoo. The sum of two pound ten shillings been paid up and Mr. C Pickering & H Russel and of course Mr J. McCann being directors. J. McCann was also the manager, we were seven of us what formed the company all shareholders in the “Cuckoo” and the “Lord Charles Beresford” the only two ships what the company had up till then. "
