04 - Ships Built Under Supervision or for Overseas Owners

HC18/04

Catalogue

Reference Number: HC18/04

Description: In the 1860s and 1870s Barings acted as British agent for overseas purchasers of British ships. Orders were often placed by Barings in its own name, and the firm supervised the building, paid the builders instalments when due, and arranged for provisioning and despatch. All the ships appear to have been for the China coastal trade and this business had presumably been acquired from Finlay Hodgson & Co, following their absorption by Barings in 1867.The records were found in a deed box marked ‘Chaa Sze’, other papers of which are now catalogued under HC18.3 and 5. The records consist of vouchers, agreements, plans and drawings, specifications, sale agreements, crew wage notes, etc.
