Robert Kermit Red Star Line
In 1818 the Red Star Line (also known as Red Star Packet Line, New Line, and Second Line) was founded by Byrnes, Trimble & Co. from New York.〔''Portrait gallery of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York: catalogue and biographical sketches (1890)'', by George Wilson, pages 206-208.〕〔In many publications like ''Ships and shipping of old New York (1915)'' by the Bank of the Manhattan Company (page 39) it is said, that the ''Red Star Line'' was established in 1821/22, which actually is not entirely accurate. Byrnes, Trimble & Co. was founded in August 1817 and the Red Star Line in 1818. In 1821 they planned and in January 1822 they started regularly scheduled sailings.〕 (It should not be confused with the same-named Belgian/US-American shipping company Red Star Line, whose main ports of call were New York City and Philadelphia in the United States and Antwerp in Belgium). On September 11, 1835 the line was bought by Robert Kermit from New York,〔 a ship-owner and agent for packet ships, and was renamed Robert Kermits Red Star Line (aka Kermit Line). In 1851 Robert Kermit took his brother-in-law Charles Carow into partnership as Kermit & Carow to carry on the business of general ship owning, commission and commercial trading.〔''Biographical register of Saint Andrew's society of the state of New York (1922)'' by William M. MacBean, page 169/170.〕 Robert Kermit died in 1855 and Carow assumed the business. In 1867 the Red Star Line went down.〔
==Establishment==
In August 1817〔 Thomas S. Byrnes, George T. Trimble and Silas Wood〔''The old merchants of New York City (1863)'' by Joseph Alfred Scoville, page 215/216.〕 established Byrnes, Trimble & Co. This was some years before the opening of the Erie Canal, when the chief supplies of breadstuffs for this market came from Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the firm, for some years engaged in the Chesapeake trade,〔''Across the Oceans'' by Seija-Riitta Laakso, page 41.〕 was among the largest receivers of flour and grain from there.〔 Silas Wood was by birth a New Yorker but he resided at the city of Fredericksburg upon the Rappahannock River to promote that part of the business.〔 The partners also became owners and managers of several merchant ships, and in late 1818 established the ''Red Star Line'' of packet ships.〔
