Examples of shipownershipowner The state had to determine the legitimacy of the competing claims of lighthouse owners, pensioners, and shipowners to the property of the tolls. Norwegian whaling masters and shipowners saw the potential in bottlenose whaling, and several sealers were equipped for this purpose. In 1836 and in 1853, the shipowners were the only group successfully to claim that their interest was the public interest. But in several important respects, the changes fell short of the hopes of the reformers and the shipowners. But historians have argued that even when the sailor was able to afford legal process he faced judges who served the interests of master and shipowner. By contrast, the shipowners before the 1833 select committee on manufactures, commerce, and shipping had not mentioned private lights, but instead complained of the high rates in general. He successfully presented reduction of light dues as a means of soothing shipowners' resentment of the relaxation of the navigation laws in the 1820s and furthering retrenchment. We shall welcome every sign that the shipowners are seeking new and more efficient methods both of constructing and running their ships. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive.
