North Eastern Railway Company

The West Hartlepool Harbour and Railway Company was amalgamated with the larger North Eastern Railway Co. The terms were finalised on 1 July 1865. Between 1867 and 1870 Ralph Ward Jackson, Robinson Watson and others co-owned vessels with the Company.

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.
