The company also carried passengers and ran a regular service until just after the Second World War. The company had offices at St Katherine's Way in the City and handled a wide range of cargoes, including wine, tea and fresh vegetables at its Carron and London Continental Steam Wharf in Wapping. The wharf and its warehouses were demolished in 1974.
