Description: | This is the house flag of the Stephenson Clarke shipping line. The company's origins go back to Ralph and Robert Clarke, two brothers from North Shields, who bought the Cleveland in 1730 and acquired interests in other ships. It did not get its present name until 1850 when Stephenson Clarke, their nephew's grandson, took over the company. The line was chiefly engaged in the coal trade well into the 1950s, and apart from their London headquarters they had offices in Newcastle to deal with the transport of north east coal. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work living in the North East | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
