Hugh Hamilton Lindsay

Hugh Hamilton Lindsay (1802–1881) was a businessman with interest in China, perhaps the first British person to visit Shanghai.[1]

The son of the Hon. Hugh Lindsay, a director of the East India Company and Jane Gordon,[2] Lindsay went to China in 1820 and was a supercargo for the East India Company. He was the company's Secretary in Canton in 1830.

Lindsay led a clandestine reconnaissance of Chinese ports in 1832 along with a Lutheran missionary Karl Gützlaff. Both speaking good Chinese, they visited Amoy, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai and the Shandong coast throughout the six-month expedition He was also vociferous supporter of war against Qing China to advance business interests.[3]

He was the Conservative M.P. for Sandwich from 1841 to 1847.[4]

Having been one of the founding directors, he succeeded John MacGregor as Chairman of the Eastern Archipelago Company in 1851. The company was wound up in 1858. He was also the founder of Lindsay and Company of Hong Kong, a banking and shipping company which was bankrupted in 1865. In 1852 he had the tea clipper Challenger built for him.
