Emil Steen (1829–1884)

Peter Emil Steen (1829 – 1884) was a Norwegian ship-owner and businessperson.

He was a son of merchant Daniel Steen in Laurvig.[1] He is best known as the founder of Steen & Strøm in 1856 together with Samuel Strøm, Jr., as a continuation of Strøm's business which had roots back to 1797.[2] Steen has worked in this company since 1847.[1] When Samuel Strøm died in 1876, Emil Steen brought the widow Augusta Strøm on board as partner. The company was also involved in shipping during this period.[3][4]

Together with Ovidia Laurenze Jebe (1829–1905) Emil Steen had the son Johan Steen,[5] Christian Steen and Emil Steen.[6] The next generation took over Steen & Strøm in 1884, with Johan Steen, Christian Steen and Christian Strøm, Jr. as the three partners.[3][4] In turn, Johan had the son Erling[5] who became a partner in 1914.[4]
