      probate 1907
      Christopher John King of the “Royal” hotel College-green Bristol stevedore died 11 June 1907 at 2 Leopold-road St. Andrew’s Bristol probate Bristol 2 August to Samuel James King stevedore and Edward Payne Press solicitor Effects £44790 10s. 1d.

      C.J. King's
      After two Hodder brothers died, their mother took charge of the firm, followed by her daughter, Eileen Hartly-Hodder, who already had a career as a teacher of speech and drama. She found it difficult to cope with both jobs, though she successfully chartered ships, engaged seamen as crews, and arranged passages to countries all over the world. In 1974, she sold out to C.J. King & Sons. Christopher John King set up in Prince Street in 1850 in what was then only just being recognised as a distinct trade, stevedoring.
      Until then, ships' crews often discharged the cargoes themselves, but as the size of ships entering Bristol increased, stevedoring crews became the rule, unloading cargoes of wine, tobacco and timber, and when at last Avonmouth opened in 1877, C.J., with his son and his brother Samuel, opened an office and played a leading part in developing handling methods and machinery there.
      One of his first inventions was The Gadget, a small vessel fitted with a steam winch and carrying rope and tackle which could be attached to the yard-arm of the ship to be discharged. Another first was banana handling: the first banana boat, the s.s. Port Morant, arrived at Avonmouth in March, 1901, and C.J. King's unloaded it. In 1907, 56,000 bunches were put on rail from the Elders and Fyffe steamship in only eight hours, when all the unloading was done by hand.
      The company was also the first to install at Avonmouth in 1910 two Mitchell floating grain elevators, mechanical devices for transferring grain from ship to shore. During the Boer War, the cargoes discharged were guns and ammunition, and a decade later there was a mysterious Sunday morning meeting with the military on the Downs, followed by a never-explained embarkation and disembarkation of guns and transport, carefully timed by the watching brass hats.
      The firm did not know it, but it was a rehearsal for the First World War. The firm had also invested in tugs, right from the beginning: the first was the Memmac, launched in 1859; it aroused hard feelings, and the tug was threatened by the Pill boatmen who made a living hauling ships bodily down the Avon. Merrimac's successor was a paddle driven tug which became well known to Bristolians in the 1880s.
      When the 44 ton iron paddleboat, the Gem, arrived in Bristol on Whit Monday, 1883, citizens were offered a pleasure trip from Hotwells to Chepstow, fare Is. The Gem, launched in 1871, began work in the days of 'seeking', which was the privilege of towing windjammers as far out as Land's End, the English Channel and even Bantry Bay. Competition was fierce, and frequently lights would be doused in order to slip out westwards unnoticed by the rival tugs waiting in the darkness.
      But with this underhand rivalry went a strict ethical code, and once a tug had spoken to her potential customer, the competitors left her severely alone. The King tugs became famous: two of them escorted the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert, when it arrived in Avonmouth in 1908 for the opening by King Edward VII of the Royal Edward Dock, and one of them worked in the Dardanelles in the First World War. King's was the first firm to operate motor tugs in the Bristol Channel, and when the second war came, they taught the American G.I.'s the art of stevedoring and handled vast amounts of food and petrol and ammunition which came into Avonmouth, while continually under air attack.
      Salvage was another function carried out by the tugs; earliest record of one of the King tugs at the scene of an accident was in 1878, when the s.s. Gipsy ran aground at Black Rock Quarry, just past the Suspension Bridge, and broke her back. In the Great Fog of 1929, five large vessels ran aground in the Avon, but by the following afternoon, thanks to the tugs, the river was clear and back to normal. With the decline in shipping in recent years, King's has had to diversify, and one of their present subsidiaries is a joinery business which found a new role in the Falklands War, making transoms, decks and keels for assault craft. http://www.flickr.com/photos/brizzlebornandbred/4629056829/

      15 April 2014 Dale Fallon (dalefallon10@hotmail.com) Dear Paul Thanks for putting up your wonderful information about CJ King 1847-1907 in the Featherstone Project. My paternal grandmother was Hannah Elizabeth King born Bristol 1886. She was first cousin once removed to CJ King. Are you descended from CJ King? Are you or do you know of anyone interested in the King family? I have some pictures of CJ, his father and Charles (1880) and Mervyn S P King. Kind regards Dale Fallon
