Company history

The Saint John company began manufacturing automobiles in 1913. The brand name was Maritime Six . After a first own model, parts were obtained from the Palmer & Singer Manufacturing Company in the USA . The bankruptcy of Palmer & Singer in March 1914 ended the connection. In the same year, production at Maritime Motors ended.

vehicles

The first model had a self-made six-cylinder engine . The lighting and electric starter came from Gray & Davis . Due to problems in production, only two vehicles were built.

Then parts from Palmer & Singer were assembled into complete vehicles. These Maritime Singer Six were similar to the models. Of these, 6 to 24 vehicles were built.
