Mathias Stinnes established a shipping and coal-trading concern in 1808 and bought his first vessel in 1810. The later Hugo Stinnes shipping website instead traces its Rhine-barge origins to 1820. Mathias was succeeded by his sons after his death, given as 1845 in the main account but inconsistently as 1815 in one repeated entry.
