History

Four companies came together in 1904 to form the Tyne Tees Steam Shipping Company. These were:

  • The Tyne Steam Shipping Co. Ltd,
  • The Tees Union Steamship Co. Ltd,
  • The Free Trade Wharf Co. Ltd
  • Furness Withy & Co. Ltd
  • Passenger services were operated between Newcastle upon Tyne, London and the continent until the Great Depression in the United Kingdom.

    The vessels and interests of the company were purchased by Coast Lines in 1943.

    The former Headquarters building is now the Hotel du Vin.
