THOMAS SUTHERLAND

Sutherland Street was so named in honour of Mr. (afterwards Sir) Thomas Sutherland, a pioneer shipping man in the Colony, and one of the first taipans of the P. and O. Company out here. He was a prominent figure in the early Sixties, and was one of the members of the provisional committee of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, as well as a member of the Legislative Council. With Mr. Douglas Lapraik (see 8-11-33) he formed the dockyard combine which was, in 1888, the original Hongkong and Whampoa Dockyard Co. (see the history of this dockyard, published 29-8-33). On returning to England, this early agent of the P. and O. Co. rose to even greater eminence, and his name is still remembered by shipping men wherever the company runs its steamers.
