Hugh Allan

Sir Hugh Allan (1810-1882) was a Scottish born Canadian financier and shipowner. In 1826, he emigrated to Canada and worked for a shipbuilding company in Montreal, Lower Canada, where he later founded the Allan line of steamships. He was given the contract to build the Canadian Pacific Railway, but plans fell through in 1873 after the Pacific scandal.
