Hanna Brummenæs (12 December 1860 - 1 May 1942)[1] was a Norwegian businesswoman in shipping and local politician in Haugesund.[2] Together with Bertha Torgersen, she founded the shipping company Brummenæs & Torgersen in 1909 and with this became the first female shipowners in Norway.
Brummenæs & Torgersen
Hanna Brummenæs and Bertha Torgersen met each other at Visnes in Karmøy as employees of a shop in the mining community there. They had their own shop for a while, but they ended this business. Around 1900 they moved together to Haugesund and began to take an interest in shipping. They invested in shipping stocks, and made enough money to buy a herring steamer in 1909. The boat was called "D / S Gouval" and they purchased it at an auction[1].
They bought four ships of between 1350 d.w.t. and 3200 d.w.t., three of the ships were built in the 1800s and the latter in 1904[1]. The common denominator that they were mostly in poor condition and slow, causing them to lose all their ships during World War I, except for "Gouval", which sank before the war[3].
After the war, the ship industry in the city was in poor shape. Brummenæs & Torgersen had paid very little for their five ships and ran the shipping company very responsibly, so they went with a huge profit when the war damage claims were paid[3].
Between 1921 and 1927 they bought five old ships, and in 1929 they bought a motor ship. This was "Equatore" which was in very poor condition and eventually became a grain store on land[1][3].
Before World War II, they bought several old steamers. During the war, all their ships were sunk or lost[1][3].
Brummenæs died in 1942. When Torgersen died in 1954, about 6 million kroner remained in the estate. Torgensen had the financial responsibility over the company and it was discovered that there was still money left from the war damage claims after World War I.
Other
Brummenæs and Torgensen were what was called "mannedamene", because they dressed in men's clothing and operated in a male-dominated industry. She wore pants and must have signed with "Mr."[3].
Brummenæs spent ten years in the City Council for Høyre, the Conservative Party[4].
