I am in the process of completing a history of this prominent London tramp company, which was in business between 1888 and 1979, when it sold its last two vessels, the bulkers HARFLEET and HARFLEUR. I would very much like to hear from anybody who served with the Harrison fleet, particularly those who might have records and photos from their time with the company.

Please note, this is not the Harrison Line of Liverpool. J & C Harrison operated tramps, all with names starting HAR-.

Hope to hear from lots of you soon

Can't give much info, but for a start there's Bharatkhand and Fort La Monte.

Just in case you happen to get a picture of the Bharatkhand, my Dad sailed on it and has been trying to get a picture of it for years but with no luck. I understand it started life at the Empire Gulliver.

If you don't mind, if you ever come across a picture, would love to give him a copy.

Hi Jeremy,
I hope you re still around! Have just stumbled across this thread. My dad was on the Bharatkhand too, and has proudly hung a watercolour of her above his front door for the past 50 odd years. I would be happy to make a copy if you re still interested.

Strangly BHARATKHAND(ex.EMPIRE GULLIVER)is missing from M.Coopers book of the history of J&C Harrison.She tookon the charters ships name soon after being bought by Harrisons as the EMPIRE GULLIER and was sold to the charterer.
