CO pj~l 2 Abstract This work discusses Sir John Reeves EHerman’s career and shows how he translated inherent skiUs which were apparent at an early age into financial acumen. This resulted in his becoming not only a major shipowner, but a powerful figure in pubfishing, breweries and property. The genesis of EHerman lies in his apprenticeship as an accountant, and a legacy from his maternal grandfather, which gave him ready resources. This led swiftly to a period during which he was budding up business as an accountant, an auditor and a company promoter. Over the next three or four years EHerman made useful acquaintances in finance, breweries, commerce and industry; which developed into a network of coUeagues and which formed the foundation of later successes in his eclectic spheres of operation. In 1891 EHerman participated in the incorporation of the shipping company Frederick Leyland (1891) Ltd. Within a year he was chairman of the company, and took it from strength to strength whfie acquiring two other shipping lines. In 1901 EHerman sold aU his ordinary shares - with which went control of Leyland Line - to J.P. Morgan and his embryo International Merchant Marine. Part of the agreement of sale was that EHerman would not take any interest in the Atlantic trade for fourteen years; if he wished to continue in shipping he had to find other areas of opportunity. EHerman bought back the Leyland Mediterranean steamers from IMM complete with managements, crews and trades. He then, in rapid succession, acquired two short-sea and two deep-sea companies - aU with their own ancHlary services. EHerman formed EHerman Lines Limited, which totaUy owned aU the shipping subsidiaries. The majority of ordinary shares in the new company were owned by EHerman and his immediate coUeagues, with the result that three directors and one secretary effectively ran the whole group. Over the next decade, EHerman buHt up and modernised his fleets. In 1913 he acquired BucknaU Lines as a whoUy owned subsiduary and increased the nominal capital of EHerman Lines Ltd to £3.500,000. His last purchase, of Wilson Line of HuU in 1916 brought total ownership of some 200 ships. EUeman died in 1933, leaving almost £40,000,000 and a memory which lasted among seafarers untH the 1970s. It is beHeved that this work has contributed to the spread of knowledge by explaining those areas of his life hitherto considered as being most obscure. 3 CONTENTS PAGE NUMBER TITLE PAGE 1 ABSTRACT 2 PREFACE 8 CHAPTER 1 - BACKGROUND 11 Introduction. 11 Comparison with contemporaries. 15 James Mackay, Lord Inchcape. 16 Owen Philipps, Lord Kylsant. 18 The Ellerman historiography. 21 Methods and sources. 22 CHAPTER 2 CITY GENT 27 City gent. 27 A sample brewery. 35 Not rags to riches. 37 Ships and shares. 42 Sale of the century. 47 E tenebris. 51 CHAPTER 3 FINANCES AND FLEETS 55 Strategy and tactics. 55 The watch leaders. 69 Baling out Bucknalls. 73 One more step. 74 Uniformity. 79 4 CONTENTS (continued) PAGE NUMBER CHAPTER 4 SHIPS AND SHIPYARDS 86 The ships. 86 Restructuring the fleets. 87 Passenger ships. 88 Ship types. 93 Different ships - same cap-tallies. 100 The shipyards. 101 Cruiser stems. 103 The pinnacle of power. 105 CHAPTER 5 WARTIME MILLIONS 107 The first shock. 107 Convoys or capitulation.

  • U DX368 Material Relating to the C.1928-1989 Ellerman Wilson Line and Company
    Hull History Centre: Material relating to the Ellerman Wilson Line and company U DX368 Material relating to the c.1928-1989 Ellerman Wilson Line and company Historical Background: The firm of Thomas Wilson Sons & Co. (TWSC), later Ellerman's Wilson Line (EWL), was known for most of its life and now remembered as the Wilson Line. The activities of this single company helped to make Hull Britain's third largest port by the beginning of the twentieth century. In March 1904 TWSC owned some 99 vessels, most of which had been built by the local firm of Earle's Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Limited, which had itself been bought by TWSC shortly before. Thomas Wilson, the founder of the firm, was born in Hull on 12 February 1792. He went to sea as a boy but then became a clerk with Whitaker, Wilkinson & Co., importers of Swedish iron ore, later becoming their commercial traveller in the Sheffield area. On 1 September 1814 he married Susannah John West and they eventually had 15 children. The story goes that, with a growing family, he asked his employers for a rise, was refused, and in 1820 chose to set up in business for himself, relying on various partners for the provision of capital. The first of these in 1822 was John Beckington, a merchant and iron importer from Newcastle. The firm of Beckington, Wilson & Co. started as ore importers based at Beckington's house at 14 Salthouse Lane, Hull. In 1825 two new partners joined: Thomas Hudson, another Newcastle merchant, and John Hudson, a druggist, of Hull.

  • My First Ship
    My First Ship Another 'first tripper' account, or perhaps a 'first shipper' one, this time from Richard Olden and yet again with Clan Line. His ship was very similar to the CLAN ALPINE, which ended up in a paddy field near Chittagong during a cyclone. (Captain Les Morris's brother John was third engineer on her at the time and his account was published here in issues 27 & 28.) My cadetship was spent mainly in the SS “CLAN ANGUS” (ex “EMPIRE PRINCE”), a 1942 utility-built 7,030 GRT general cargo vessel. She had a triple-expansion steam engine, coal-fired boilers, and a speed of 11 knots. Her officers were British, consisting of the Master, three Deck Officers, five Engineer Officers, Radio Officer, Chief Steward, Carpenter and two Deck Cadets. And like all Clan Line ships, she had a Lascar crew. I had had pre-sea training at “Pangbourne”, and after a successful interview at Clan Line’s head office in London, I joined the “CLAN ANGUS” in Govan Dry Dock, Glasgow in October 1946. As I boarded her, a new Clan Line funnel was being fitted, and gun mountings and other war fittings were being removed. Unbeknown to me then, I would be in her for four voyages - nearly two and a half years - including a voyage of twelve months. Also, I would be sailing with the same Master, Chief Officer, Chief and Second Engineers, Radio Officer and Carpenter. The Second and Third Deck Of- ficers would also be the same for nearly two years. I had been kitted out by my parents, who paid my travel expenses to Glasgow, where my career began.

  • Union-Castle Line - 40Th
    Union-Castle Line - 40th. Anniversary of the last Mailship! In 1856, South Africa comprised four self-governing areas – Cape Colony and Natal were British and The Orange Free State and The Transvaal Republic were administered by the Boers. At that time all overseas mail delivery contracts were awarded by the Admiralty and, in 1857, they offered the Cape Mail Contract to THE UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY and their auxiliary schooner Dane inaugurated the service when she departed Southampton on September 15th. 1857. In 1876 the contract was reviewed and the Admiralty split the new contract between two companies – The UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY from Southampton and THE CASTLE MAIL PACKET COMPANY from London, with ships of each company sailing on alternate weeks – and a passage time of 26 days. This contract lasted for some 25 unhappy years with intense (and dangerous) competition exerting strong commercial pressure on the Masters of the vessels. The contract was again reviewed in 1900 and after some sensible discussion the two companies agreed a merger and – on March 8th. 1900 THE UNION-CASTLE MAIL STEAMSHIP COMPANY was registered to undertake the new South African Mail Contract with the ships based in SOUTHAMPTON. In 1955 a new Mail Contract was signed (effective from January 1st. 1957) but, at that time THE UNION-CASTLE LINE and THE CLAN LINE were discussing a possible merger and, with effect from 31st. January 1956 these two great companies merged to form THE BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH SHIPPING COMPANY. By 1975 five large cargo-carrying passenger vessels and two passenger-carrying cargo vessels were operating the joint service between the UK and South Africa.

A rebel force of about 1,500 men, primarily New Hampshire and Massachusetts militiamen, led by General John Stark, and reinforced by Vermont militiamen led by Colonel Seth Warner and members of the Green Mountain Boys, decisively defeated a detachment of General John Burgoyne's army led by Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Baum, and supported by additional men under Lieutenant Colonel Heinrich von Breymann at Walloomsac, New York. After a rain-caused standoff, Brigadier General John Stark's men enveloped Baum's position, taking many prisoners, and killing Baum. Reinforcements for both sides arrived as Stark and his men were mopping up, and the battle restarted, with Warner and Stark driving away Breymann's reinforcements with heavy casualties. The battle reduced Burgoyne's army in size by almost 1,000 troops, led his Indian support to largely abandon him, and deprived him of much-needed supplies, such as mounts for his cavalry regiments, draft animals and provisions; all factors that contributed to Burgoyne's eventual defeat at the Battle of Saratoga.
