From the Haverfordwest & Milford Haven Telegraph of Wednesday 7th February 1906:

 

    On Monday the new steam trawler "Titania", late of Hull, and recently purchased by the Neyland syndicate, made her first appearance in dock and landed a fairly good catch.  She is skippered by an old Milford skipper in the person of Captain Walter Watson, who has been four years with the Castle Steam Trawlers Ltd.
