Devitt and Moore

House Flag of Devitt and Moore

Devitt and Moore were a British shipping company formed by Thomas Henry Devitt and Joseph Moore in 1836. They became shipowners and entered the passenger and cargo trade to Australia managing and owning many clipper ships such as the City of Adelaide and the South Australian. With the advent of steam, they developed a training scheme for cadets and formed Pangbourne College. ^[1].

Devitt and Moore Fleet

In purchasing their first two full-rigged ships from Duncan Dunbar in 1863, Devitt & Moore started their long connection with Australia as shipowners. Over the next 55 years until the end of the First World War, when they finally conceded to the competition from the steamships, at various times the Devitt and Moore fleet comprised 29 square-rigged sailing ships and two steamships carrying passengers, wool, copper and general cargo between Great Britain and Australia.

The following list of ships owned by Devitt and Moore was adapted from a book by Capt. A.G. Course.^[1]
