The Fleets
A. H. Bull & Company,
New York (1902-1963) / Baltimore Insular Line Inc.
Archibald H. Bull was the founder of the British-flagged
New York and Porto Rico Steamship Co. in 1885, which succeeded an earlier
line of sailing packets on the same route that he had established in
1873. In 1900, his stake in the company was bought out by his partners
in a hostile takeover, and Bull was forced to give up running steamers
to Puerto Rico for 10 years. In 1902 he set up the Bull Line to serve
the US Atlantic coastwise trade and operate sailing vessels to Puerto
Rico and by 1917 when the United States entered the war, fifteen ships
had been acquired or built for the fleet.
In 1914, A. H. Bull bought the Insular Line, which had been established
in 1904 as a successor to his old company, and renamed it the Baltimore
Insular Line.
After the Armistice, services were inaugurated to the eastern Mediterranean
and Black Sea and to the Azores, Canary Islands and West Africa. These
were abandoned in 1924 and a new service inaugurated to South and East
Africa, but again, in 1927 the service was ended and the fleet concentrated
on the Atlantic coastal service and sailings to the West Indies.
In 1923 A.H. Bull commenced a passenger service with the introduction
of the CATHERINE sailing on overnight trips between San Juan and St.
Thomas. This service was supplemented in 1930 by the BARBARA on the Baltimore
San Juan route.
The Second World War disrupted all passenger services and the BARBARA
was lost and although the CATHERINE survived the war she was immediately
sold to British buyers.
The first two ocean-going ships to be built in
the USA after the World War I programme, were for the Bull Line, the
ANGELINA and the MANUELA, built in 1934 and the forerunners of the C1
type which
they resembled. Both were lost in 1942. Seventeen ships were lost and
three taken over by the US government in World War II. When war ceased
in 1945 there were twelve ships in the fleet.
Purchases were made in 1946-1947 to start to rebuild the fleet, three
Liberty colliers POWELLTON SEAM, CHILTON SEAM and FREEPORT SEAM being
renamed in Bull nomenclature of Christian names, to become EVELYN, MAE
and EDITH, two of them for the associated Baltimore Insular Line.
Five Liberty dry cargo ships were purchased in the following year and
five of the C2 type WHEATLAND, GOLDEN FLEECE, SWEEPSTAKES, DUPLIN and
WOODFORD. All five C2's had refrigerated space and side ports installed;
necessary for the Puerto Rico service.
The Porto Rico Line’s flagship the Boriquen was purchased in 1949,
refurbished and renamed PUERTO RICO and dispatched her on the New York
San Juan passenger run. The service was to expensive and the PUERTO RICO
was laid up in 1953 and sold in 1954 to the Arosa
Line and renamed Arosa
Star.
Further purchases of war built standard ships were made in 1949 with
the C2 AGWICOMET (ex CARRIER DOVE) and the C1-M-AV1 type ship CINCH KNOT
and in 1951 with two more dry cargo Liberty ships. In 1954 two more C2's
were acquired from the New York & Cuba Mail SS Co.
Bull's heirs eventually failed to see the wave of containerization coming,
and sold out in 1957 to the American Coal & Shipping Inc., and then,
in 1961, under Kulukundis Maritime Industries Inc., of Manuel K. Kulukundis,
the sale involving eight C2 and seven Liberty ships, these Greece Companies
went bankrupt around 1963 and by 1965 the company ceased to own any vessels.
