Goole Shipbuilders
June 1864 - Large Coal Hoist for Goole Docks - This extraordinary piece of machinery, erected for the Aire & Calder Company by Sir W. Armstrong & Co. of the Elswick Engine Works, Newcastle-on-Tyne, has been officially tried in the presence of some of the directors of the company. Mr. H. Bartholomew, C.E. of the Elswick Engine Works, were present. The hoist is designed for the purpose of loading vessels with coal direct from barges without the intervention of manual labour for filling tubs etc. The barges designed by Mr. Bartholomew, and built at Lake Lock, are intended to be brought down the canal in trains of eight; the two end barges, however not being loaded with coal, but like the locomotive and break van of a goods train, merely for the purpose of propulsion and guidance. The last barge is fitted with a screw, also a small capstan for actuating the steering chains, which run from end to end on each side of the train and by being tightened on one side give the whole that snake like form necessary for rounding the curves. When the train arrives in the dock, it is broken up and the barges are floated one at a time into the cage, then to the bottom of the hoist. The cage is then, by means of two hydrolic cylinders, lifted to the requisite height, and by spurgear, actuated by hydrolic power, gradually upset, the coals running down an incline shoot into the vessel beneath. The water for working the hydrolic cylinders and engine is pumped by a steam engine previously erected by the same firm for working the dock gate machinery. The weight of the cage etc is about forty tons, the boat about eight tons, and the coal abot thirty tons. The height from the quay level to the waste water tank is between eighty and ninety feet. A wooden roof is intended to cover the whole of the upper works. The erection of this immense machine has not been unattended with difficulties; several heavy pieces of machinery (in one instance above sixteen tons) had to be lifted to a height of fifty feet. Owing to the piling of the coffer dam not being removed, the trial in the present instance could not be made with coal in the boat. An empty boat, however, being launched over the dam, and partially filled with water, was hoisted up, and the water tipped down the coal shoot. Being the first hoist constructed on this principle some little defects in detail were observed; but its performance on the whole appeared to give great satisfaction to the proprietors. The vast weight put into motion was apparently as much under the control of the man at the handles as the load on an ordinary crane.
October 1912 - For the first time the new coal hoist erected on the quay of the new West Dock, Goole, was put into commission. The new hoist has been built to the order of the Aire & Calder Navigation and will deal with tom puddings each capable of holding 40 tons of coal, and the capacity of the hoist is about 250 tons per hour.
June 1845 - According to the Parlinentary returns Goole has only two vessels capable of bearing arms; the 'Railway', of 74 tons and 50 h.p., ten sixpounders, and the 'Eagle' of 86 tons and 60 h.p., ten 12 pounders.

Paddle Steamer H.M.S. 'Ludlow' Built 1st May 1916 - In May 1915 the Admiralty reported that the experience gained during the First World War with hired paddlers proved that they were far more efficient as minesweepers than trawlers. They were also cheaper to build and required smaller crews than comparable screw vessels. The Admiralty commissioned Ailsa Shipbuilding Company to prepare plans and specifications for a paddle minesweeper, based on its vessel the ‘Glen Usk’. When the design – the ‘Racecourse’ class (also known as the ‘Ascot’ class) – was finalized 32 vessels were built under the Emergency War Programme to two closely related designs and delivered between April and October 1916. HMS ‘Ludlow’ was built by Goole Shipbuilding Co Ltd. She was sunk off the Shipwash on 1 May 1916 (29th December 1916) by a mine that blew off her stern. The explosion killed five men and wounded seven others. She was taken in tow by a sister minesweeper, ‘Pontefract’, but eventually foundered, water gradually filling her engine room.

December 1843 - Accounts have been received of the total loss of the 'Princess Royal' steamer on the night of Tuesday, off the eastern coast, near Cromer Light House, Norfolk. The vessel was a small passage boat belonging to Goole master Mr. W. Crabtree, and at the time of the unfortunate accident was on her weekly voyage to London, with a general cargo and four passengers. From the moment she left Goole the weather was extremely boisterous, the wind blowing almost a gale from the N.E. and a heavy sea. On the night in question the gale had greatly increased when, about half past one o'clock, Cromer Light House bearing S.E. half E and Blakeney Church S.S.W. a heavy sea broke over her deck and destroyed the main hatchway. The crew endeavoured to replace it but were unable, every sea sweeping over them into the hold of the vessel, and rapidly filling her with water. The master, Mr. Crabtree, observing that the vessel would shortly go down, launched the long boat and left the vessel, the crew and passengers accompanying him. They had scarcely got 60 yards before the steamer fell on her beam ends and went down in 14 fathoms water and about ten miles from land. For five hours and upwards they were exposed to great danger, but fortunately they ultimately suceeded in gaing the shore, near Clay, where they were kindly treated by the coast guard and inhabitants of the village.

December 1887 - The bankrupt C.E. Fosbrook applied to Mr. Registrar Linklater sitting in the London Bankruptcy Court yesterday for his order of discharge. The bankrupts, Mrs S.A. Wilson and C.E. Fosbrook carried on business in London and at 4 Aire and Calder Wharf, Leeds and 11 Custom House Buildings, Goole, forwarding and shipping agents, and failed in May last with a statement of affairs showing total debts unsecured £648 14s 1d and assets £186 8s 2d. The bankrupt was formerly manager to the late Mr Wilson during his lifetime and after his death in 1878 became the partner of Mrs Wilson, and continued the business with her up till April last. The failure was attributed to the competition of a line of steamers in opposition to them, to defalcations by agents to the extent of £300, and to compusory removal in 1866 from Hartly's Wharf owing to the building of the new Tower Bridge in London. In the absence of opposition, his Honour said that he was bound to take cognisance of the offence of bad bookkeeping reported by the official receiver, and therefore felt obliged to suspend for twelve months.

January 1895 - The announcement that the Goole Steam Shipping Company Limited has acquired the steamers and shipping business of the Yorkshire Coal and Steam Shipping Company Limited and also of the Humber Steam Shipping Company limited is fraught with interest to a considerable number of capitalists living in the West Riding, who have money invested in shipping interests and also to a very much larger circle of merchants and exporters who consign their goods through Goole. The amalgamation is undoubtedly due in no small degree to Mr. W.H. Bartholomew, J.P. who for some years has been the chairman of the Goole Steam Shipping Company Limited and is also largely concerned in the well being of the Aire and Calder Navigation, the dockowners of Goole, and the owners of the navigation which concentrate there.

The defendants said the accident was due to the schooner improperly altering her course and that by reasonable care and skill the schooner could have avoided the accident. Captain G.E.Lea in charge of the 'Humber'. February 1912 - The log of Hull Sea Fishing Company's steamer 'Senator Holthusen' reports:- On Monday February 12th at noon we saw two boats containing some men and at the same time a large steamer lying at anchor. Men on board the steamer called to us saying that they had been in collision with another vessel which had been abandoned by her crew and was drifting about in the neighbourhood. A thick fog was prevailing at the time but we soon saw the other vessel. Although the engine room was full of water we thought we would be able to salve the steamer. We made a cable fast to her and began to tow. The steamer 'Senator Refard' also came up, attached a rope and helped to tow the damaged vessel. We had to give up towing on account of the thick fog so we anchored the steamer and waited for the weather to clear remaing close to the damaged steamer. About nine o'clock in the evening she heeled over to starboard and sank about an hour later. Six of the crew who came on board our ship during the towing were brought to Cuxhaven. The collision was between the 'Humber' and the German steamer 'Answald' just outside the mouth of the Elbe on Monday 12th January 1912 during thick fog.

April 1935 - An official announcement was made today that four important steamship lines operating from the Humber to near Continental ports will in future come under one management. The association of Humber shipping interests is a board of rational services rather than a merger. There is no question of cutting down the importance of Goole. It is somewhat similar to the pooling scheme introduced on the railways, and it should result in an efficient services being maintained from ports in the Humber.
The Associated Humber Line was formed in 1935 to manage the five Railway and Shipping companies - Goole Steam Shipping Company, London Midland and Scottish Railway, Hull and Netherlands Steam Ship Company, London and North Eastern Railway Companies Shipping Grimsby, and Wilson's and North Eastern Railway Shipping Company, Hull (Wilson Line). The ownership of the respective vessels did not transfer to the Associated Humber Line and similarly the ports concerned, Hull, Goole and Grimsby, also remained under the control of the Railway Companies.
The Goole Steam Shipping Co. is owned and controlled by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Co. serving Amsterdam, antwerp, Copenhagen, Ghent, Hamburg and Rotterdam, comprising 13 vessels.
Thomas Wilson Sons & Co. founded in 1841. In 1906 part of the operation was merged with the North Eastern Railway creating Wilson's & North Eastern Railway Shipping Co. Ltd and later in 1916 the remaining company was sold to Sir John Ellerman who created Ellerman's Wilson Line which continued to trade until closed in 1973. Wilson's and North Eastern Railway Shipping Co. Ltd. is jointly owned by Ellerman's Wilson Line and the London and North Eastern Railway Co. They maintain a regular service of steamers from Hull to and from Antwerp, Ghent, Dunkirk and Hamburg. The fleet comprises six vessels 'Darlington', 'Harrogate', 'Hull', 'Otto', 'Selby' and 'York'.
The Hull & Netherlands Steamship Co. Ltd. was formed in 1894 and brought together the shipping operations of C.L.Ringrose and W.H.H.Hutchinson with the intention of concentrating their shipping services to that specific area of operation. It is owned by the London and North Eastern Railway Co. The company owns three vessels, the 'Jervaulx Abbey', the 'Melrose Abbey' and the 'Whitby Abbey'.
