Hunwick - a general history

Built at Liverpool: Official No. 5019: Code Letters JFVN.

Owners: 1852 Thomas Cumming Gibson, John Tindale Harris & James Dixon, London; 1852 West Hartlepool Shipping Co (Ralph Ward Jackson) West Hartlepool.

Masters: 1854 Joseph Mullett; June 1854 Robert Weatherly; 1855 William Pearson; 1858 Robert Weatherley.

Hunwick left West Hartlepool for London with a cargo of coal on 11 November 1858 & sprang a leak & foundered in an easterly gale on 15 November 1858 in Yarmouth Roads. The crew saved themselves in their own lifeboat. The steamer & cargo were valued at about £9,000.

Ward Jackson

As well as being known as the founder of West Hartlepool, Ralph Ward Jackson had many business and property interests. He had shares in several sailing vessels both with individuals and companies. He was involved with the West Hartlepool Shipping Company formed in 1849 and when that ceased trading he transferred his interests in 1854 to the West Hartlepool Harbour and Railway Company and bought a small fleet of ships. This Company was the forerunner to the WHSNC which was formed in 1856. Between 1867 and 1870 he co-owned vessels with the North Eastern Railway Company.
