The history of the shipping connection between Ardrossan and Belfast is a long and interesting one. As far back as 1884 the daylight service had been established and it was 40 years earlier, in 1844, that the night service to Ardrossan Belfast was first begun.
Originally the night service was operated by the Ardrossan Shipping Company who ran two vessels on the route, the “NORTH WESTERN” (NB: Ν Πεππας Το μεταγενεστερο δικο μας Ελδα/Τηνος http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=69513) and the “NORTH EASTERN” ” (NB: Ν Πεππας Το μεταγενεστερο δικο μας Ελενη της Αχαικης http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=82080), but most of the history of the service is attached to Messrs G. & J. Burns, Glasgow, who took over the Ardrossan - Belfast run from the Ardrossan company in July, 1882.
The Burns firm was founded in 1824 by the brothers George and James Burns. From the start the firm was intimately associated with Glasgow - Belfast and Glasgow - Liverpool sealinks. George Burns carried most of the responsibility for the shipping line and it was he, who in 1839, helped Samuel Cunard of Halifax, Nova Scotia to found the famous Cunard Line. In 1922 Burns amalgamated with Laird line Ltd., Glasgow, and Ayr Steam Shipping Company Ltd., Ayr, and since then the line has been known as Burns & Laird Lines Ltd.
When Burns took over the night company vessels - “NORTH WESTERN” became “GRAMPUS” (NB: Ν Πεππας http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=69513), and “NORTH EASTERN” became “SEAL” (NB: Ν Πεππας http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=82080), and under their new flag they ran successfully for many years. During the construction of the Eglinton Basin and Dock the “GRAMPUS”, commanded by Captain Cochrane, and the “SEAL” commanded by Captain Todd, were displaced from the berth at Winton Pier and operated from JerryΆs Pier.
Up until 1893 mail from Scotland to Northern Ireland had been conveyed via Greenock but then Burns brought in a new express passenger and mail service. The “GRAMPUS” and “SEAL” were taken out of service and their captains were given two new ships the RMS “HOUND” (NB: Ν Πεππας Το μεταγενεστερο δικο μας Μαιρη Μ/Λεσβος/Κορυτσα http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=68536) and the RMS “GORILLA” (NB: Ν Πεππας, ηλθε στην Ελλαδα σαν το πρωτο πλοιο Ναυκρατουσσα του Γιαννουλατου το 1914, αλλα χαθηκε στην Καλλιπολι το 1918. Κοιταξτε την τελευταια παραγραφο αυτου εδω http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showpost.php?p=194927&postcount=1 ) which operated the service until 1898. Up until 1936 it was known that the
“HOUND”, under new owners, was still running in the Mediterranean (NB: Ν Πεππας, δηλαδη σαν Λεσβος).
Only five years after the start of the service “HOUND” and “GORILLA” were taken off and two new steamers the “VULTURE” (Captain Todd) and the “MAGPIE” (Captain McMillan) ((NB: Ν Πεππας: Και τα δυο αυτα πλοια ηταν παρομοια του Woodcock. που εγινε αργοτερα η μεταπολεμικη Ρενα http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showpost.php?p=298547&postcount=4 ) came into service. The gross tonnage of each was 1280 with 3000 horse power and they considerably advanced the service. However, these vessels were to have a short life and eight years later, in 1906, they were replaced by the “WOODCOCK” (Captain Darroch) (NB: Ν Πεππας Το μεταγενεστερο δικο μας Ρενα του Πρωτοπαπα http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showthread.php?p=298547) and the “PATRIDGE” (Captain Bruce) (NB: Ν Πεππας: αδελφο του Woodcock, http://www.nautilia.gr/forum/showpost.php?p=298547&postcount=4 ). Both vessels were built by John Brown on Clydebank each of 1523 gross tonnage and 3200 horsepower. Their dimensions showed no advantage over their predecessors but they were far superior in passenger accommodation and speed.
……..
As the night passenger service ended Burns & Laird stepped up their new daylight services. The daylight service was inaugurated in 1884 by a steel twin screw steamer named “BUZZARD” and she was succeeded by a paddle steamer “COBRA”. Elderly readers may still recall the next ship, the paddler “ADDER” which operated the service from 1890 till 1905 and her successor was the turbine steamer “VIPER” which ran until the beginning of the First World War.
