A Major Scottish Tramp Ship and Cargo Liner Company: Andrew Weir’s Bank Line-1875-2016. Part 1, 1875-1970
View through CrossRef
This article in two parts, the first from 1885 to 1970 and the second from 1970 to 2016 covers the history of a major Scottish tramp ship and cargo liner company, Andrew Weir’s Bank Line through the era of sail and steam and the early adoption of the motor ship in the interwar period and beyond to an all-motor ship fleet. Beginning as a tramp sailing ship venture, Bank Line is notable in that it also embraced liner shipping relatively early in its existence. This dual character, plus early enthusiasm for motor vessels and oil tankers in tandem with family ownership, sets it apart from many British shipping firms and makes it worthy of extended study. We also cover the many associated companies of Bank Line’s parent company, Andrew Weir Ltd., to give the reader a fuller perspective of where Bank Line stood relative to it. Owing to the paucity of extant records, we cover the financial aspects of the company during the Second World War and from the late 1970s onwards up to the renaming of the company as Andrew Weir Shipping Ltd. in 1988 to dissolved company status in 2016.
Le présent article est divisé en deux parties, la première allant de 1885 à 1970 et la seconde de 1970 à 2016. Il retrace l’histoire de la Bank Line d’Andrew Weir, une importante compagnie écossaise de navires de tramping et de charge à l’époque de la voile et de la vapeur, ainsi que l’adoption précoce du navire à moteur dans l’entre-deux-guerres et par après, jusqu’à la flotte de navires entièrement motorisés. Ayant débuté comme entreprise de voiliers de tramping, la Bank Line se distingue par le fait qu’elle a adopté le transport maritime de ligne dès le début de son existence. Cette dualité, ainsi que l’enthousiasme précoce à l’égard des navires à moteur et des pétroliers, conjointement avec la propriété familiale, la distinguent de nombreuses compagnies de transport maritime britanniques et la rendent digne d’une étude approfondie. Le présent article aborde également les nombreuses compagnies associées à Andrew Weir Ltd., la société mère de Bank Line, pour donner au lecteur une perspective plus complète de la position de Bank Line par rapport à celle-ci. En raison de la rareté des mentions existantes, l’article traite des aspects financiers de la compagnie pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et à partir de la fin des années 1970 jusqu’au changement de nom de la compagnie à Andrew Weir Shipping Ltd. en 1988 et à sa dissolution en 2016.
