William McNeill was born in Boston in 1803. At eleven years old, he
chose a life at sea, and began gaining his experience to rise to
the rank of master of a vessel, which required skill in mathematics
and an understanding of the cosmos for navigation. William was a
red-head, tall and heavy set. His temper was on a short fuse and,
when threatened, he was aggressive in his action, impetuous,
blusterous, a little given to exaggeration. He was not fond of
waiting to see how things might turn out. William was probably
first mate at fifteen years of age on the brigantine Paragon and a
master mariner at twenty-one. By the time he joined the Hudson's
Bay Company, he was a competent and experienced master mariner and
fur trader. Follow his historical immigration to Canada to become
one of the most feared and serviceable trading captains of the
Honorable Hudson's Bay Co.
