(1822-1907), See also:English shipbuilder, was See also:born at See also:South See also:Shields on the 3rd of See also:November 1822. His See also:father, originally the See also:captain of a whaler, removed in 1828 to See also:Newcastle-on-See also:Tyne, where he conducted a See also:ship-owning and ship-broking business. Charles Palmer at the See also:age of fifteen entered a See also:shipping business in that See also:town, whence, after six months, he went to See also:Marseilles, where his father had procured him a See also:post in a large commercial See also:house, at the same See also:- TIME (0.

time entrusting him with the See also:local agency of his own business. After two years' experience at Marseilles he entered his father's business at Newcastle, and in 1842 he became a partner. His business capacity attracted the See also:attention of a leading local colliery owner, and he was appointed manager of the Marley See also:- HILL

Subsequently he was made one of the managers of the associated collieries See also:north and south of the Tyne owned by See also:Lord Ravensworth, Lord See also:Wharncliffe, the See also:marquess of See also:Bute, and Lord Strathmore, and in due course he gradually See also:purchased these properties out of the profits of the Marley Hill colliery. Simultaneously he greatly See also:developed the then recently-established See also:coke See also:trade, obtaining the coke contracts for several of the large English and See also:continental See also:railways. About 1850 the question of See also:coal-transport to the See also:London See also:market became a serious question for north See also:country colliery proprietors. Palmer therefore built, largely according to his own plans, the " See also:John Bowes," the first See also:iron See also:- SCREW (O.E. scrue, from O.

screw-See also:collier, and several other See also:steam-colliers, in a yard established by him at See also:Jarrow, then a small Tyneside See also:village. He then purchased iron-mines in See also:York-See also:shire, and erected along the Tyne at Jarrow large See also:shipbuilding yards, blast-furnaces, See also:steel-See also:works, See also:rolling-See also:mills and See also:engine-works, fitted on the most elaborate See also:scale. The See also:firm produced See also:war-See also:ships as well as See also:merchant vessels, and their See also:system of rolling See also:armour plates, introduced in 1856, was generally adopted by other builders. In 1865 he turned the business into Palmer's Shipbuilding and Iron See also:Company, Limited. In 1886 his services in connexion with the See also:settlement of the costly dispute between See also:British ship-owners and the See also:Suez See also:Canal Company (of which he was then a director) were rewarded with a baronetcy. He died in London on the 4th of See also:June 1907.
