Edmund Handcock (1854-1916) was educated at Taunton and was apprenticed at
Messrs Donkin & Co. shipowners of Newcastle.
He settled in Cardiff in 1871 as
shipowner, coal exporter and tugboat owner. He owned a business called E.
Handcock & Co. which traded at 7 Mount Stuart Square, Cardiff and later moved to
Morel's Chambers, Bute Street, Cardiff (1893/4).
Apart from his ship owning,
Edmund Handcock was a Vice-President of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce,
Chairman of the Penarth Pier Co.,
also of the Lady Margaret Steamship
Company, of the Liverpool and Cardiff Underwriters Association, and a member of
the Executive Council of the Cardiff Exhibition.
Elected to the Royal
Cornwall Yacht Club in 1891, Edmund Handcock was Rear-Commodore from 1895 until
1899 and then served two years as Vice-Commodore, separated by a single year in
office by Thomas Sheldon, a bachelor lead merchant of Clevedon and the owner of
the 38-ton Lorna Doone. Handcock was a tug owner in Falmouth and Cardiff, where
there are records of several tugs registered in his name or companies including
it. He was an original investor in and a Director of the Barry Dock and
Engineering Co Ltd incorporated in 1891, where he is described as a ship owner.
The 1861 Census shows him living in Arwenack Street with his father-in-law with
whom he is in partnership as butchers, though he is also described as a shipping
agent, the 1871 Census in Grove Place as a ship owner and marine surveyor, and
the 1881 Census at Melvill Road as a ship owner, so he was advancing in the
world. Late 19th Century Lloyds Registers of Yachts lists him as the owner of
the 33-ton Waterwitch with addresses in Penarth and Cardiff. He had died by 1917
for his daughter’s marriage announcement in that year referred to the late
Edmund Handcock.
