Commodore began operations in 1947 as Commodore Cruises, when they operated a number of ex-Royal Navy Fairmile 'B' craft were used on excursions from South East England resorts. In September 1947, Red Commodore was chartered by a Guernsey operator who ran to Sark and Alderney. The following year, Commodore, employed Red Commodore and Silver Commodore on similar routes, joined by White Commodore later in the season. Their complete fleet of Fairmile lauches was:- White Commodore (ex-ML445), Silver Commodore (ex-RML499), Fleet Commodore (ex-RML534), Red Commodore (ex- RML537) and Gay Commodore (RN serial unknown).
In 1950, the first cargo vessel, Island Commodore (1) joined the fleet, although she was also licensed to carry 144 passengers on inter-island routes. Typically, Island Commodore (1) would run from St Peter Port, Guernsey to Sark three times a week, and twice to Alderney all year round. The Fairmile launches would operate summer-only on extra trips.
Ownership of Commodore passed to Mansfield Markham in 1960, and a larger vessel was acquired from Germany, becoming the Commodore Queen. The intention was to run her to France, but she lacked sufficient speed to be totally successful on such services. In 1962, the Alderney Tramp Shipping Company was acquired along with the vessel Orselina. She was soon joined by the chartered coaster Allen Commodore, which was used on a cross-channel cargo service to Portsmouth. A sister, Norman Commodore (1) joined the fleet for a service to Shoreham, whilst Orselina was used to St Malo. British Railways withdrew their ferry Brittany in 1963, and a new company, Condor Limited, was formed to operate high speed services to France with the hydrofoil Condor 1. Control passed to Jack Norman in 1965, who then acquired Channel Transporters (Portsmouth), allowing Commodore to become major players in the Channel Islands freight markets.
The new Albert Johnson Quay opened in Portsmouth in 1968, allowing Shoreham services to be transferred. Increasing numbers of containers were carried, and many open flush decked container vessels were chartered to augment services, but additional ships were also purchased, becoming Commodore Clipper (1) and Commodore Goodwill (1), and new container ships Norman Commodore (2) and Island Commodore (2) were delivered in 1971. A third ship, Commodore Trader joined them in soon afterwards.

This statue in Tuoro Park, Newport RI commemorates Commodore Matthew C. Perry (1794-1858), who is most famous for leading a flotilla of US warships into Japanese waters, forcing an end to the country’s 250 years of isolationism. A prime example of Gunboat Diplomacy, Perry’s arrival caused consternation in Japan, leading to the signing of Convention of Kanagawa. This opened up Japanese ports to trade with the United States and other western nations. Submissive Japanese plenipotentiaries are depicted on the frieze at the base of the statue.
The statue is the work of sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward and was completed in 1869. The pedestal was designed by Richard Morris Hunt, who gained later fame for designing several of Newport’s Gilded Age mansions.
