He first went to sea with his brothers at about 9 years old, his last trip was during World War II and he died aged 90 in 1949. For many years he was master of the ketch, S.M.H.T. His son who trained with him remembered him as a fair master who paid well, expected hard work and would roar if he had to call twice to get him from his bunk.
