        History

        H. & A. Allan Company was a Montreal-based shipping firm. Hugh Allan (1810-1882) was a commission merchant and partner in Edmonstone, Allan & Co. since the early 1830s. In 1863, his brother Andrew Allan (1822-1901) joined the company, and it became known as H. & A. Allan, a part of Allan's family empire. In 1897, Andrew Allan amalgamated the various branches of the Allan shipping empire under one company, Allan Line Steamship Company Ltd., of Glasgow.
