The Fleets
Frank C. Strick & Co.
/ Strick Line
Founded in 1887 with the small ship Normand.
Frank Strick then formed the London and Paris SS Co. and in 1889 started
the Anglo-Algerian
SS Co. to carry coal from South Wales to Northern France. The service
expanded to Mediterranean ports, returning with iron ore and in 1892
a new company, the Anglo-Arabian and Persian SS Co. was formed to operate
between the UK and Persian Gulf ports. The basis of this trade was delivering
bunker coal to Bushire and Basrah for vessels, mainly on the Persian
Gulf - India service.
In 1905 Anglo-Algerian
and Anglo-Arabian & Persian SS Co.'s merged and in 1913 this became Strick
Line Ltd. A twice monthly liner service to the Gulf was started in 1909 with
accommodation
for up to 20 passengers. Tween decks were also fitted to accommodate pilgrims
for Mecca to the port of Jeddah. The same year, Frank Strick formed another
new company, La Tunisienne Steam Navigation Co. to operate in the Mediterranean
trade.
In 1919 controlling interest in Strick
Line was sold to Gray, Daws & Co. which was controlled by Lord Inchcape, chairman
of P & O. and in 1923 the company was
sold to Hain Line. Stricks kept control of La Tunisienne S.N. Co. and in 1928
an association with
William Cory & Sons was formed to operate Cory & Strick Ltd which joined La
Tunisienne in the Mediterranean coal and iron ore trade. In 1943 Cory & Strick
was dissolved and Frank Strick died the same year aged 94 after 58 years in
the shipowning
business.
In the early 1950s, the coal trade declined and the ships
of La Tunisienne were sold and the company closed. The Gulf
business continued, but in 1971 P & O Line formed their general cargo division
and ships from the constituent companies were gradually transferred to the
parent company. By 1975 the last Strick ship was transferred, the name of Strick
disappeared
from the shipping business and all the remaining ships were renamed with STRATH___
names.
