History
Andrew Duncan was a merchant in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, who became partners in shipbuilding with James Duncan in the mid-1830s. They sold 15 ships jointly in the period from 1835 to 1840. Although the partners appear to have eventually gone their separate ways, with Andrew Duncan becoming a partner in Duncan, Mason and Company and James Duncan founding a company in his own name, they possibly maintained business ties. In addition to building and selling ships, both companies retained vessels for cargo hauling purposes. Andrew died in Liverpool, England, in 1872.
