The Fleets
Clyde Line / Clyde-Mallory Line
The Clyde Line was established in 1844 by Thomas Clyde,
connecting Philadelphia with other east coast ports. The headquarters
moved to New York in 1872. Besides connecting the northeast and southeast,
the line also served the West Indies, especially Dominican Republic,
after 1870s.
The company was purchased in 1907 by Charles W. Morse's
Consolidated Steamship Lines, which collapsed in 1908. Clyde Line was
then taken over in
1911 by the Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies Steamship Lines, a combine of a number
of lines, but the Clyde Line name and flag continued in use until 1932, when
Clyde was combined with the Mallory Line name to form the Clyde-Mallory Line.
Clyde-Mallory was sold in 1949 to the Bull Line and the
company name disappeared.
