Captain J Lee (1887-1891)
Brighton, Worthing
& South Coast Steamship Company (1891-1901)
Captain J Lee (1901-1913)
Formed by Captain
J Lee in 1891 to operate services out of Brighton. Lee had operated
steamers from this resort since 1887 on his own account and was the
main force in the Brighton company, which bought PS Princess May new
in 1893 and added the much larger Brighton Queen in 1897. Lee parted
from the Brighton Company in 1901, setting up once again on his own
account and soon afterwards, the company was sold to Bristol Channel
operators P and A Campbell who were to become the main coastal
operators at Brighton for many years.
