Philip Tocque was owner and master of the barque Alliance as well as other ships in the mid-nineteenth century. The shipping business took the Tocque ships to the East, the Caribbean, Portugal and Newfoundland. John Philip Tocque, Philip's nephew, carried on the shipping business until the end of World War I.
