At its peak, and as a result of Gilmour's enterprises, Pollok, Gilmour& Company controlled one of the largest fleets of ships in the world, commanding over 100 vessels.

In 1837 a rift developed between Gilmour and the Pollok brothers.
To resolve the dispute, effective leadership was transferred to Robert Rankin, the manager of the Saint John operation.
