Mr. William King

Mr. William King, Chief Steward of the s.s. “Tainui,” is a Londoner by birth and education. On going to sea in the White Star line, he was engaged successively on the steamers “Baltic,” “Republic,” and “Celtic.” In 1886, Mr. King joined the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company's s.s. “Ionic,” and a year later he was transferred to the “Tainui” as chief steward, which position he has held for nine years.
