Captain William Truefitt
     William Truefitt was born on 29 December 1833.1 He was the son of William Truefitt and Eleanor ....1 William came from a long seafaring family and at the age of 15 he obeyed the call of the sea, came to Teeside to serve as an apprentice on the sailing collier Harper, owned by Messrs Cochrane and Co. William served on this ship as a cabin boy and rose to Captain.2 He married Margaret Jane Corner on 16 August 1856 in St Hilda's Church, Middlesborough, Yorkshire, England, They went on to have ten children. It is unsure whether Williams wife was Margaret Jane Corner or Jane Foster.3,2 When in the march of progress Messrs Cochrane and Co went in for steam-driven vessels, they entrusted the charge of the first to Captain Truefitt. It was the Sixty-Six and beginning its career in 1871 was one of the earliest steamers to ply from Middlesborough. For thirty-four years - in fact until his retirement in 1905, at the age of 72 he served as Captain of that vessel. At the time he gave up his seafaring life he was proud to claim a double record. He was the oldest captain on Lloyd's list, and had the longest period of service as master of one ship.

During his 58 years at sea he enjoyed a remarkable freedom from serious mishap, never shipwrecked, never stranded, never a life lost during the almost countless coastwise and Continental trips which he took as Captain, "never," to use his own words, "so much as a cap lost."2 Captain and Mrs Truefitt celebrated 65 years of marriage. Of their ten children, three sons and four daughters survived to see his celebration. They also had 25 grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren.2
