Notes:
M. Langlands and Sons, Glasgow. Founded in 1839 as the Glasgow & Liverpool Royal SP Co, the company offered passenger and cargo sailings between the Clyde and Mersey, and received a mail subsidy as an added inducement to maintain this service with good ships. With George Burns and David macIver holding a third of the shares, the new company was strongly backed.
