The Allan Shipping Line was started in 1819, by Captain Alexander Allan of Saltcoats, Ayrshire, trading and transporting between Scotland and Montreal, a route which quickly became synonymous with the Allan Line. By the 1830s the company had offices in Glasgow, Liverpool and Montreal. All five of Captain Allan's sons were actively involved with the business, but it was his second son, Sir Hugh Allan, who spearheaded the second generation. In 1854, Hugh launched the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company as part of the Allan Line, and two years later ousted Samuel Cunard to take control of the Royal Mail contract between Britain and North America. By the 1880s, the Allan Line was the world's largest privately owned shipping concern.

À ses débuts, l'entreprise était spécialisée dans le transport de marchandises en vrac, en particulier le textile, qu'elle transportait entre Greenock en Écosse jusqu'à Montréal au Québec. Les navires de la Allan Line repartaient ensuite de Montréal vers l'Écosse chargés de marchandises canadiennes. Ce trajet maritime a vite été synonyme de l'entreprise maritime et a été surnommé de « Allan Line ». (fr)

| - The Allan Shipping Line was started in 1819, by Captain Alexander Allan of Saltcoats, Ayrshire, trading and transporting between Scotland and Montreal, a route which quickly became synonymous with the Allan Line. By the 1830s the company had offices in Glasgow, Liverpool and Montreal. All five of Captain Allan's sons were actively involved with the business, but it was his second son, Sir Hugh Allan, who spearheaded the second generation. In 1854, Hugh launched the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company as part of the Allan Line, and two years later ousted Samuel Cunard to take control of the Royal Mail contract between Britain and North America. By the 1880s, the Allan Line was the world's largest privately owned shipping concern. In 1891, the company took over the State Line (founded 1872) and was often referred to as the Allan & State Line. In 1897, Andrew Allan amalgamated the various branches of the Allan shipping empire under one company, Allan Line Steamship Company Ltd., of Glasgow. The company by then had added offices in Boston and London. In 1917, under Sir Montagu Allan, who represented the third generation of the Allan family, the company was purchased by Canadian Pacific Steamships, and by the following year the Allan name had disappeared from commercial shipping.

Les fils du capitaine Allan étaient aussi impliqués dans les activités commerciales de l'entreprise et ce autant en Europe qu'en Amérique. Cependant, ce fut le second fils du capitaine, Hugh Allan, qui prit les rênes de l'entreprise à la suite du décès de son père. Hugh Allan fonde la « Montreal Ocean Steamship Company » en 1854 en tant que filiale de la Allan Line. L'entreprise grandit lentement et acquiert la State Line, une autre entreprise de transport maritime, en 1891. Connue à partir de ce moment sous le nom de « Allan & State Line » elle reprend le nom de Allan Line vers 1905. En 1917, l'entreprise est rachetée par la Canadian Pacific Steamship Company. (fr)
