William Duthie (shipbuilder)

William Duthie (1822–1896) of Cairnbulg was a Scottish sea captain and shipbuilder. William was apprenticed to his father, a shipbuilder, before going to sea, rising to the rank of commander, and profiting considerably from the Australian gold rush. He left the seafaring life in 1856 and invested himself in the shipbuilding business; even after his retirement, he continued to own many of the ships he had constructed.
