The AfricanCompany of Merchants was a Chartered Company in the Gold Coast British Colony Gold Coast area of modern Ghana , in the coastal area where the Fante people lived. It was founded in 1752 and replaced the Royal AfricanCompany which was dissolved in that year. In 1817 the Company had signed a treaty of friendship that recognized Asante Empire Asante claims to sovereignty over large areas of the coast, including areas claimed by the Fante. The Company was abolished in 1821, as the slave trade had not been suppressed in these privately held areas. Authority over the area was given to Governor Charles MacCarthy governor Charles MacCarthy , the governor of Sierra Leone , who was subsequently killed in the First Anglo Asante War .

Unreferenced date December 2008 The African Steamship Company was a UK British shipping line in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The company was founded in the middle of the 19th century by Macgregor Laird , the younger son of the shipbuilder William Laird shipbuilder William Laird , and based in Birkenhead . The main focus of the company at first was trading with the Niger River area and other west African ports, bringing west African palm oil back to Britain. The monthly mail steamer to the then Gold Coast British colony Gold Coast now Ghana , appointed by Royal Charter , came with a subsidy of 30,000 pounds sterling per year from the British government , starting from 1852. The company proved sufficiently successful that in 1869 a rival company, the British and African Steam Navigation Company, was founded, but both companies later came to an arrangement on sailing times. The business of the African Steamship company was purchased by Elder, Dempster and Company, Limited in 1891, who had bought the British and African Steam Navigation Company two years earlier, although both companies continued operating as distinct organisations. Further expansion began with a transatlantic crossing transatlantic route using large cargo vessels, trading from Liverpool to the St Lawrence River and from Liverpool to the southern ports of the USA . A later route from Bristol to St Lawrence was also established. The company also diversified into a number of businesses related to the trade, including a bank, oil mills for processing the palm oil, a hotel in Grand Canary for tourists, and a fruit brokerage in London to deal with the banana trade. Trade with the West Indies began in 1901, with a direct, fortnightly service from Avonmouth to Jamaica , subsidised by the Colonial Office . As part of Elder Dempster, the company was bought by Sir Owen Philipp s Royal Mail Group in 1909. Category Defunct shipping companies of the United Kingdom ... more details
