Biographical history
Dare first went to sea in 1878 as an apprentice with Shallcross and Higham of Liverpool and much of his early service was spent on the west coast of South America. He took his second mate's certificate in 1883, but was dogged by ill health and did not take the first mate's and master's certificates until 1891 and 1894. He then went into steam, sailing first with the Bedouin Steam Navigation Company and later with F. Leyland and Company, both of Liverpool. Failing health finally forced him to leave the sea in 1901 and he retired to his home town of Leicester.
