Summary

Richard Jagoe, shipping reporter, quarantine officer and launch fleet operator was born in Cornwall in 1833. He died at his residence 'Rhiador,' 68 Esplanade, Semaphore in 1899. He was good natured and a friendly gentleman. He was also a health inspector for the Department of Health, Inspector of Fish, Justice of the Peace. He could trace his family back to Jahn de Trejago in the time of Edward VI. He was proprietor of a fleet of beach boats which he had adapted by his own design to ferry goods, passengers and news from boats in the Semaphore Anchorage. He was known as the 'Sandhill Savage' because he originally lived among the sand dunes and could clearly see approaching ships carrying the latest news which he would speedily exchange for local news.
