The Fleets
Thomas Dunlop & Sons / Queen Line
Thomas Dunlop of Glasgow was a provision merchant and later
became a grain merchant. He bought his first ship in 1868 and eventually
owned 14 sailing ships. In 1883 he purchased his first steamship. Confusion
with the ships of Cayzer, Irvine's Clan Line caused Dunlop to change
his naming system from Clan to Queen from 1878. The company traded successfully
until 1956 when their last ship was sold and the company wound up.
Many thanks to Ted Finch for his assistance in collecting this data.
