The Fleets
B.J. Sutherland & Co.,
Ltd.
Newcastle upon Tyne
1892-1954
Arthur Sutherland was born in 1867 at Newcastle and entered
service of the Leith and Tyne based shipping firm Lindsay, Gracie & Co.
in 1884. In only six years Sutherland rose to become the firm’s chartering
clerk before persuading his father Benjamin to raise the necessary capital
to build a new ship and set up a shipping company.
In 1892 the SUTHERLAND was completed at W. Dobson & Co. of Newcastle.
The SUTHERLAND was quickly followed by second hand acquisitions. In 1896
The Sutherland Steam Ship Co. Ltd. was formed.
In 1898 the first turret ship the CAITHNESS was followed by seven more
turret ships between 1898 and 1907 and a further ten were bought second
hand.
When World War I broke out the company owned fourteen ships. Between
1915 and 1918 Sutherland bought twenty three secondhand vessels, three
ships were sold, one was wrecked, two were lost in collisions
and sixteen were lost due to enemy submarines. At the end of 1918
the company owned sixteen ships.
Between 1919 and 1922 Sutherland sold most of its fleet at inflated
prices and made a large profit.
In 1932 and 1933 elderly vessels were sold and replaced by more modern
previously owned tonnage. Between 1935 and 1940 the company built a
new fleet of modern motorships and at the beginning of World War II the
company owned six modern ships. The company lost two ships during
WWII and sold another two.
In 1946-1947 the last two ships of the company were purchased.
Sir Arthur Sutherland died in 1953 at the age of 85 and four vessels
were sold. In 1954 the company’s last ship was sold and the company
liquidated.
[Turret ship may be found applied to a type of late 19th century commercial
ship designed to minimize Suez Canal fees that were based on deck area.
These ships are characterized by a narrow 'turret deck' upon which all
superstructure was built. This deck sat upon a hull of greater width
in which cargo was carried. The type is most commonly associated with
a series built by William Doxford and Sons Ltd., Sunderland for trade
that required Suez Canal passage. Turret Deck Steamer is a more precise
term.]
B. J. Sutherland was a tramp ship company and traded worldwide, but
mostly to India and the Far East, Mediterranean and South America.

Sutherlands also traded between UK and Australia and were engaged
in the coal & coke, outwards from the UK and timber and lead
homewards from Vancouver, and other British Columbia Ports i.e. New
Westminster, Chemainus, Crofton etc.
I served my apprenticeship, being indentured to Sir Arthur Munro
Sutherland onboard his m.v. Sutherland 1940 to 1945 during that period
we were under the Ministry of War Transport, carrying grain from
the Argentine, Munitions from UK to Alexandria, New York to Persian
Gulf, Karachi, sugar from Mauritius to India, and Jucaro, Cuba to
Hull.
Sutherland also had interests in Tyne Tees S.S. Co. Ltd operating
14 knot coasters, Bell & Dunn, Ship Chandlers
The fleet was well found, maintained and fed. |
