The company was established in 1869 by two Danes, Counciller A.P. Andersen and Herman Ferdinand Nielsen, and operated in Newcastle upon Tyne and Blyth.[3] Nielsen died in 1887 and by 1920 ownership had passed to Arthur Waldemar Carrall, James Vallans Haswell, Joseph William Atkinson and Kristian Host.[4] The company was later incorporated with Companies House in 1920, but now operates as an investment company.[5]
The company was actively shipping passengers and goods between at least the 1870s[6] and 1970s.[7] Between 1879[1] and the late 20th century they were agents for the United Steamship Company of Copenhagen/DFDS[8] services between Newcastle upon Tyne and various ports in Denmark including Esbjerg.[9][10] Other countries that they operated vessels to included Russia.[11]
Throughout its history the company was based at a number of addresses near Newcastle Quayside including 2 King Street[12] and 9[13]/11[14]/23 Queen Street[15] in the Grade II listed Princes Buildings that were built in 1863 and designed by William Parnell.[16]
