Axel Broström (approx. 1900)

Axel Ludvig Broström (born May 21, 1838 in Kristinehamn – died September 21, 1905) was a prosperous Swedish shipping owner.

During his youth, Axel joined a shipping company. Later he became an owner and captain in the inland (lake) shipping business. In 1865, Axel used a loan to purchase a wooden trading ketch, Mathilda. This would lead to the founding of the Swedish shipping company Broström Lines.[1]

His son, Dan Broström, was the Swedish Naval Minister from 1914 to 1917. His grandson, Tor Erland Broström, was board chairman of Swedish American Line.
