He moved to Cardiff at the age of 18 and began work at the shipping offices of
Anning Brothers. In 1897 he founded the Lady Lewis Steamship Company with a ship
of that name and in 1910 this became the Tatem Steam Ship Company. He became, in
addition to that company, chairman of the Atlantic Shipping and Trading company,
Dulverton Steamship company, the West of England Steamship Owners' Protection
and Indemnity Association, and the British Corporation for Registration of
Shipping and Aircraft. He was chairman of the Cardiff Shipowners' Association in
1907 and President of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers in 1935. He also

peerage as Baron Glanely, of St. Fagans in the County of Glamorgan, on 28 June
1918.
In the interwar period he was one of the leading owners in British

The Temperley Line fleets have their origins involved with the British Colonial
Steamship Co. Ltd., which began in 1864 with ships leaving from Plymouth, Devon,
England. The Temperley family have been ship owners since before 1850. From 1879
joint sailings were run with the King Line (Wm. Ross & Co.). This lasted until
1893 when John Temperley (senior) retired. Other ventures followed : J.
Temperley & Co. and the Temperley Steam Shipping Co. Ltd.
The Temperley Steam Shipping Co. Ltd. was formed in 1889. Based in London,
its vessels were managed by J. Temperley & Co. In 1899, The Temperley Steam
Shipping Co. Ltd.acquired another Temperley company –
United Steam Shipping
Co. Ltd., owners of the "Melbridge". "Bembridge" was the only ship remaining in
1924, when the Company was voluntarily wound up.

![[Temple Steamship houseflag]](../images/g/gb~templ.gif)
by Al Fisher, 05 Feb 1999
The Temple Steamship Co. has a strikingly similar house flag to the
Dornoch Steamship Co. Ltd. Both house
flags are white with a red triangle. They differ only by the geometry of the
triangle. It seems to me very weird that two different companies could have had
so similar and potentially confusing house flags.
Ivan Sache, 28 February 2004
It sometimes helps to record the funnel marking as well as the house flag. A
white flag with a red triangle, point uppermost, was also the house flag of Lambert Brothers.
Their ships had black funnels with the red triangle on a white band.
