Measuring Children’s Exposure to Interparental Hostility
A Major Scottish Tramp Ship and Liner Company
Following on from Part 1, (The Northern Mariner/Le marin du nord 34, no. 3 (2024)), Part 2 considers the later history of Andrew Weir’s Bank Line and its subsidiary shipping companies from 1970 through changes in name of its shipping operation to dissolved company status in 2016. As in Part 1, in tandem we also trace the history of Bank Line’s holding company, Andrew Weir and Co. Ltd
A Major Scottish Tramp Ship and Cargo Liner Company
This article in two parts, the first from 1885 to 1970 and the second from 1970 to 2016 covers the history of a major Scottish tramp ship and cargo liner company, Andrew Weir’s Bank Line through the era of sail and steam and the early adoption of the motor ship in the interwar period and beyond to an all-motor ship fleet. Beginning as a tramp sailing ship venture, Bank Line is notable in that it also embraced liner shipping relatively early in it…
The British Shipbuilding Industry and the Container Ship, 1968–1990
This article considers the British shipbuilding industry’s record in building container ships under private control then state control through nationalization of the industry under the British Shipbuilders Corporation in July 1977 to the break-up the Corporation through re-privatization under Conservative Party government up to 1990, when the last container ship built in a British shipyard was completed. Appendix 1 tabulates all container ships b…

The Birth and Growth of Two Scottish Deep-sea Tramp Ship Firms
This article is largely based on the surviving records of two Scottish tramp shipping firms, Hugh Hogarth & Sons and Lyle Shipping, the former privately owned throughout its history and the latter later a public company. It traces their birth and growth up to what became, after 1958 when ocean freight rates dropped, an increasingly difficult operational environment for British shipping firms dealing with increased international competition, polit…

Barclay Curle & Co. Ltd, Britain’s First Ocean-going Motor Ship, MS Jutlandia , and the Scottish Shale Oil Industry
This article explores the link between the building of the pioneering motor ship Jutlandia by Barclay Curle & Co. Ltd in 1912 for the East Asiatic Company of Copenhagen and the Burmeister & Wain oil engines which powered it, notably through Scottish shale oil. It traces the difficulties in building and installing machinery that was unfamiliar to Clydeside engineers and the impact that the ultimate success of the vessel had on marine engine buildi…

A Cinderella industry
This article explores Britain's ship-repair industry under private enterprise and partly under state control from 1970 to 1986 in order to shed much-needed light on ship repair during a crucial period in its history – a period when a substantial proportion of the industry moved from private to state control, initially in 1974 when four major ship repairers were nationalized, and again in 1977 when a further six ship-repair companies came under st…
A response to Mike Bender, If Maritime Historians Are in Danger of “being left with their journals and not much else” (Lewis Fischer), What Can Those Journals Tell Us About Ourselves? A Ten-Year Study
Robert not 'Ronald' Blyth) is getting there.I question the statistical validity of a comparison between a non-peer reviewed annual publication from 2009 to 2018 and three peer reviewed (two quarterly, one twice yearly) academic journals.Further, regarding the IJMH, the editorship has recently passed from the University of Hull to the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, so is no longer "British."In his article, Bender does not acknowledge the…

Parenting Culture(s)
What is it to be “an ideal parent”? Does the answer differ across countries and social classes? To answer these questions in a way that minimizes bias and ethnocentrism, we used open-ended questions to explore ideal-parent beliefs among 8,357 mothers and 3,517 fathers from 37 countries. Leximancer Semantic Network Analysis was utilized to first determine parenting culture zones (i.e., countries with shared ideal-parent beliefs) and then extract t…
Profiles of Parental Burnout Around the Globe
Parental burnout (PB) is a pervasive phenomenon. Parenting is embedded in cultural values, and previous research has shown the role of individualism in PB. In this paper, we reanalyze previously collected data to identify profiles based on the four dimensions of PB, and explore whether these profiles vary across countries’ levels of collectivistic-individualistic (COL-IND) values. Our sample comprised 16,885 individuals from 36 countries (73% wom…
The bridge or someplace later! The demise of two Scottish deep-sea tramp-ship firms, Hogarth Shipping Co. Ltd. and Lyle Shipping PLC, 1960–1987
This article, which is in four parts and is based on the surviving records, consists of two case studies on the responses of one privately owned company (Hogarth Shipping Co. Ltd.) and one public company (Lyle Shipping PLC) to the increasingly difficult operational environment of the post-1960 era confronting British shipping firms dealing with increased international competition, political and economic volatility, and financial pressures

Greenfield Shipyards and Modernization in the British Shipbuilding Industry and Elsewhere, 1900–1977
This article considers the largely neglected topic of greenfield shipyards and modernization in British shipbuilding from 1900 to 1977. Post-1945, the end of the long-seller’s market for shipbuilders in 1958 ushered in a sustained period of intense international competition just as spatially limited British shipbuilding firms had begun, rather late in the day, to modernize their yards in an attempt to compete with more capital intensive-orientate…
Gender Equality and Maternal Burnout
In Western countries, recent decades have witnessed a revolution toward gender equality. Inequalities have been greatly reduced in areas such as education or employment. Because inequalities lead to distress, this development has largely benefited women. One notable exception is the realm of parenting, which has remained rife with inequalities even in the most egalitarian countries. We hypothesized that experiencing inequality in parenting when o…

International Transfer of Tacit Knowledge
This article analyzes the transfer of tacit knowledge between countries and continents, based on a case from the shipbuilding industry. The South Korean shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) was established in the early 1970s and had by the late 1980s become the world’s leading shipbuilder. Aided by foreign loan capital, HHI acquired technology through foreign licenses and imported equipment. However, shipbuilding is about more than hardware…
A shipbuilding consultancy is born
There is a distinct lacuna in the historiography of British shipbuilding in that the role of independent consultants within it is largely unknown. This article attempts to rectify this gap by analysing the birth, growth and subsequent denouement of the industry’s most important consulting firm, A&P Appledore (International) Ltd (APA), and setting it in its domestic and international context. Sadly, through its various incarnations, the business r…
British financial, managerial and technical assistance in establishing the global shipbuilding giant, Hyundai Heavy Industries
The aim of this article is to present the early history of Hyundai Heavy Industries, currently the world’s largest shipbuilder. The company was established by the prolific South Korean entrepreneur Chung Ju-Yung in the early 1970s. Due to limited experience in shipbuilding, the establishment relied heavily on foreign assistance. This article sheds new light on the crucial relationship between Chung and two British companies: the Newcastle-upon-Ty…
Subsidy and Treasury
This article analyses the impact of government policy towards British unemployment in the post First World War period. It attempts to do this through the prism of the Trades Facilities Act and the impact on British shipbuilding. The treasury, however, were opposed given other priorities and the effect of the scheme remains, at best, contentious

The Norwegian market for British Shipbuilding, 1945–1967
The British Shipbuilding industry experienced a process of both competitive and comparative decline during the period 1945 to 1967 — when the world market for ships was at its most vibrant. The present article seeks to analyse this decline through an examination of the loss of the industry's most important export market — Norway. It is argued that issues such as price, failure to meet delivery dates and to offer competitive credit terms, were all…
No Light at the End of the Dock
From the crinoline to the boilersuit’
This article considers the under‐researched topic of the employment of women in private British shipyards during the Second World War. In looking at the numbers of women employed during the war, which were low in comparison to other sectors, historians have often overlooked the shipbuilding industry. The roles of women in manual occupations in these shipyards, on balance, were pretty much limited, however, this article will take a holistic approa…

The rationalisation of warship building in the United Kingdom, 1945–2000
After the Second World War the Admiralty and shipbuilding industry agreed that the largest possible capacity for warship building should be maintained. This proved impossible as the Royal Navy struggled to evoke a strategy in the nuclear era and the price of increasingly complex vessels rose remorselessly. As the shipbuilding industry wilted in the 1960s in the face of international competition a process of natural selection was followed by incre…

‘We Do Not Want to Be Too Hard on the Norwegians’
This article looks at Anglo-Norwegian financial relations in the crucial five years after 1945. Norway lost half of her merchant fleet and had accumulated substantial sterling balances during the war through insurance claims from ships sunk in British and Allied service, and from freights carried. Given Britain’s position as banker to the sterling area and at the centre of a worldwide trading system based on sterling, in the postwar negotiations …
