Administrative history
I.H. Mathers and Son Ltd. was a shipping company founded by Isaac H. Mathers in 1872 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Mathers’ son, Isaac Harry, joined the company in 1890 and became the company president in 1906. The company exported lumber and canned lobster, later diversifying into other products and expanding their trade into the West Indies and Scandinavia. Harry Isaac Mathers II became president in 1945. Under his leadership the company expanded to include a tugboat business in the 1960s and a freight business in the 1990s. I.H. Mathers is currently a fully integrated marine, offshore and logistics services provider with offices in Halifax, Dartmouth, and St. John’s, Newfoundland.
