The Fleets
H. Hogarth & Co.
/ Baron Line
Hugh Hogarth in partnership with James Goodwin commenced
shipowning in Ardrossan in 1868 when they purchased the brigantine Fearless and commenced trading to Canada and the West Indies. The fleet quickly
expanded but the partnership was dissolved about 1878 and Hogarth continued
in the shipping business.
The company moved it's business to Glasgow
in 1880, but the ships continued to be registered in Ardrossan. In 1881
they ordered their first steamship and by this time, Hogarth ships were
trading worldwide. Hugh Hogarth died in 1904 and the directorship passed
to his son Samuel Crawford Hogarth who gradually disposed of the sailing
vessels, the last being sold in 1910 and built up the fleet of steamships.
By 1914 the company owned 23 ships, but lost 14 during the Great War.
The fleet was rebuilt and by 1939 owned 39 ships and was one of the largest
privately owned shipping companies in the world. 20 ships were lost during
the Second World War, but the company managed 36 ships for the Ministry
of War Transport.
Samuel Crawford Hogarth died in 1950 and the operation
of the company was taken over by other family members. The company moved
into the bulk carrier trade in 1965 and in 1968 joined with Lyle Shipping
Co. to form Scottish Ship Management
Ltd. In 1986 the company ceased trading.
