    The Carron Company didn't name their ships, they numbered them instead.

    Port line, all after ports, Port Jackson and the prettiest ship ever built, the Port Townsville. And a bunch of other Port boats.

    Another one was Dollar Steamship Company / Dollar Line

    Dollar SS Company (theshipslist.com) Had a lot of Ships with the name of Dollar at the end . But also had many other Ships with other names as well.

    B.H.P. the Aust mining giant called nearly all its ships Iron something. Iron Baron all the way through the alphabet to Iron Yampi.

    The Carron Company also had steam cargo passenger ships. These ships were of between two and three thousand tons. I know three of these ships were named the Forth, the Carron and the Avon. The Avon was built by Wigham Richardson in 1897. It weighed approx 2000 tons. It was a twin screw ship powered by a triple expansions steam engine. This vessel was used on a twice weekly service from Grangemouth, the Tyne to London. The Avon was mainly used on the Tyne to London leg. In the early 1920's the company decided to come out of owning ships after suffering several losses from the fleet during World War One.
