HISTORY OF TIN INMAN LINE.
The lnmau Line service on the North At.
lantic Ocean originated in 1850. Richardson
Bros. a Co.. ot Liverpool, England, and
Richard, Wilson n Co.. of Philadelphia,
had been the owners of a line of sailing
packets trading between Philadelphia and
Liverpool In lS5O they started a line of
first class steamships between these cities
subsequently changing the American port
of departure to New York. The late vii.
liam lnman was partner in the Liverpool
house, and managed the shipping depart
ment He was Managing Director of the
company from 1884 to the time OF his death
in lSSl.
In 1856 the old company dissolved and a
new one was formed, called the lnman and
International Steamship Company. The
steamships City Of New York and City of
Paris were construCt,d d by Messrs. James and
George Thompson, of Clyde Bank, near
Glasgow. The two ships cost So 100000.
The City of New lorl; came in from sea
on Thursday morning and went up to her
pier in the North River, completing her last
voyage from Queenstown and Liverpool.
As soon as she had been made fast in her
berth, scaiiolds were slung over her bows
and stern and workmen set to work erasing
the City Of in her name. The job was an
artistic one, and on its completion no one
was able to discern any evidences that the
name was ever any more extensive than
