The company was formed in 1837 to run steamers from Chatham to Sheerness. Later registered as a Limited Liability Company in 1881. Their service ended during WWI when the admiralty took over their last 2 steamers. In 1919 its assets were acquired by the New Medway Steam Packet Co. Ltd. which extended the service and continued to operate until the 1960’s.
