Hains of St. Ives
Just got back from spending three weeks in the UK. Had a great time, spending two weeks down in Cornwall. Went to St. Ives a couple of times, and visited the museum there which has one room dedicated to the Hain Line. Lots of models including my first ship as a newly minted Third Mate, M.V. Trebartha ,along with associated displays of log books etc. Well worth a visit if you are there.
Just down the street is a Bar restaurant called the Hain Line, which is situated in the old offices, before the company moved to London.

Re: Hains of St. Ives
I know what you mean Keith, St. Ives was packed to the gills with holiday makers, but sadly I was the only person in the Museum the whole time. On my second visit I took a locals advise and took the local Train from St. Erth, just south of St. Ives. Plenty of parking, and a delightful twenty min trip along the shore into the middle of St. Ives.
Hope you can make it back sometime.
Cheers
John

Re: Hains of St. Ives
Thanks Keith, I found that very interesting. I also found that warehouse door quite by accident on my wanderings around St. Ives, while the other half persued the shops.

Hi Ronnie
I was just relieving on the coast from April to May 69. Chas Abbott was the Skipper, great guy. That was my last Hain-Nourse ship before joining Jebsens.

Hope to visit next time that way, interested in: before the company moved to London.
In September 1901, the Hain Steamship Company was incorporated as a public company in Cardiff under the direction of Edward Hain III and Edward Hain IV. By 1913, the number of ships in their service reached 36 with another five on order with Readheads. At the outbreak of war, two of Hain’s ships were docked in German ports and were immediately detained while another ship in the Black Sea was requisitioned by Russian forces. By the end of the war, the Hain Steamship Company lost a total of 18 ships to enemy action and three by other causes. Hain Steamship Company
