George McCulloch (mine owner)
George McCulloch (Glasgow 23 April 1848 – 12 December 1907 London) was a British businessman and art collector. He was the mastermind behind the formation of the Broken Hill Mining Company, a precursor of BHP Billiton.〔Curtis, 1908 and Camilleri, 2006.〕 He was the son of James McCulloch, a contractor, and Isabella Robertson, a farmer's daughter. George's father died of cholera in January 1849 when George was one year old〔Glasgow Herald, 1849〕 and he was brought up by his mother assisted by his uncle John Robertson, a farmer.
==Early life and shipbuilding==
As a young man, circa 1865, McCulloch travelled to Uruguay, South America where his older brothers John and Allan were stockmen. Aged 21 he returned to Glasgow and in 1869 formed a partnership with James Patterson, leasing a shipyard at Port Glasgow. McCulloch Patterson and Co, shipbuilders, built several vessels including the Isabel, Vale of Doon, Loch Dee, Vale of Nith, Firth of Clyde, Maitland, and the Loch Urr, but they made a small loss on most of these vessels, and the pair were eventually forced to file for bankruptcy in February 1871.〔Glasgow Herald, 1871〕〔McCallum Laurie, George McCulloch a forgotten Port Glasgow shipbuilder, Scottish Local History, Issue 89 Autumn 2014, published by the Scottish Local history forum〕
