Batavier Line / Nederlandsche
Stoomboot Maatschappij 1823-1920 /
Wm.
H. Müller & Co., Rotterdam 1878-1972 /
Vianda Steamship Company Ltd, London
The Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij was founded in 1823 by G.M. Roentgen,
J.C. Baud, C. van Vollenhoven and J. Cockerill with the support of the Dutch
king Willem I and started first inland services from Rotterdam to Nijmegen,
 Cologne
and to later to Antwerp with paddle wheelers. In 1824 the decision was
made to
order a new paddle wheeler for a shipping route from Rotterdam or Amsterdam
to Hamburg, but it took five years to complete this ship and when she was finished
in 1829 another Dutch company had already opened a route from Amsterdam to
Hamburg
so instead the paddle wheeler BATAVIER (1) opened on 12 April 1830 a passenger
and cargo service from Rotterdam to London.
Already in 1830 due to the Belgian uprising and later becoming an independent
Kingdom the service to England had to be stopped and several ships were hired
by the Dutch Navy, the Rotterdam London route was re-opened in 1833.
In April 1850 a second ship the FIJENOORD joined the BATAVIER on their
service to London. In 1855 a new BATAVIER (2) was ready to take up the
Rotterdam London service.
Around 1865 there was a stiff competition from
several British shipping companies and an outbreak of swine fever in
Great Britain, this nearly ruined the company and the NSM tried to sell
its ships but that didn’t go through and instead in 1870 a new ship the
MAASTROOM and in 1873 a third BATAVIER joined the fleet, which give better
results for the company. The BATAVIER (2) was sunk in a collision with
the Turkish warship Charkee at Barking Reach on the Thames in 1872, a
baby and a sailor lost their lives in the accident. In 1872 the New Waterway
was opened which means a great improvement for the shipping companies
to reach Rotterdam.
In 1895 Wm Müller & Co. took over the company which stayed as an independent
company within the Wm. Muller & Co. company until 1920 when the Nederlandsche
Stoomboot Maatschappij was formally liquidated and the ships sailed under the
Müller banner, the Rotterdam London service was known as the Batavier Line
named after the ships who sailed on this route.

Wm. H. Müller & Co. was founded on 18 April 1876 at Düsseldorf,
Germany and on 3 June 1878 a Dutch office was founded as Wm. H. Müller & Co.
at Rotterdam.
As already mentioned above on 1 November 1895 the Nederlandsche Stoomboot
Maatschappij was taken over with their fleet. Later the service Rotterdam-London
was called the Batavier Line.
 Wm.
H. Müller & Co. founded several other shipping and tug
companies like the N.V. Maatschappij voor Vracht & Passagiersvaart
Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij in 1896, N.V. Stoomvaart Maatschappij "Mineral" in
1897, Sleepdienst "Hoek van Holland" also in 1897.
In 1889 Wm. H. Müller & Co.’s Algemeene Scheepvaart Maatschappij
at Rotterdam was founded.
In 1908 the shares of N.V. Scheepvaart Maatschappij v/h Smith & Co.
were purchased which runs a service to Bordeaux.
In 1919 Wm. H. Müller & Co. took participation in Stoomvaart
Maatschappij Zeeland which was founded in 1875.
In 1923 an office at London was opened Wm. H. Müller & Co. (London)
Ltd. and also the Vianda Steamship Company Ltd was founded. In 1968 the
name was changed in Wm. H. Müller & Co. (Batavier) Ltd. London.
In 1958 the passenger service to London was stopped, only the freight
service stayed on which lasted to 1971 when all the ships were taken
over by Scheepvaartbedrijf Kroonburgh N.V., Rotterdam and all the shipping
activities were ended in 1972.
