290513 from Dictionary of Newfoundland and Labrador Biography:

DUDER, EDWIN JOHN SR (1822?-1881). b St Mary's Church, England; father of Edwin J. Duder Jr.; established Edwin Duder and Sons 1871; d St John's 20 Feb. Duder immigrated to Newfoundland with his family in 1833. By the 1850s he had established an Import-export business at St John's in partnership with James L. Muir. He later became an important ship owner and expanded to have an extensive involvement in the inshore and Labrador fisheries, with branches along the northeast coast between Greenspond and Twillingate. RHC 210313:

According to William Cocker's paper on Herring Neck, published in the Newfoundland Ancestor, Vol. 29, 1 2013, Edwin Duder had business premises there which were later purchased by George John Carter.

080715 according to Bert Riggs:
Thomas and Ann's fourth son, Edwin, was born in 1822. He too became a successful member of the St John's mercantile community, operating an import-export business in partnership with his brother-in-law, Robert Muir, from 1858 to 1865, and later with his sons.
Edwin quickly expanded his business, creating branches in Twillingate, Fogo, Herring Neck, Change Islands, Barred Islands and Greenspond.
Upon his death on Feb. 20 1881, his sons Arthur and Edwin Jr. took over the business. Arthur's death the following year left the business in Edwin Jr.'s hands.

290513 from Dictionary of newfoundland and Labrador Biography:

DUDER, EDWIN JOHN JR (1853-1918). b St. John's 5 Feb; president E. J. Duder Co 1881-94; d St John's 12 Oct. Duder joined the family mercantile firm in St. John's in 1871 and took over management of the business upon his father's death ten years later. He rapidly expanded the business's interests in Notre Dame Bay and acquired a large number of vessels. The firm appeared to be overextended, however, and was one of the major victims of the Bank Crash of 1894. Duder later worked for the Newfoundland Railway at St John's and Whitboume. RHC

080715 from Bert Rigg's article:
At one point the company owned more than "200 sail of fishing and foreign going vessels, besides a large number of boats and skiffw. He is said to be the largest shipowner (numerically) in the world," author H.Y. Mott once remarked.

Edwin's success was not to last, however. He had much of his capital invested in the operation and expansion of his business, and lost everything in the Bank Crash of 1894.

140718:
"Art at the Edge", with text by Jean Edwards Stacey, clarifies the above by locating the business enterprises on the northeast coast:
"Edwin Duder, son of St. John's merchant E. J. Duder, bought the Rolls business [James Rolls, a merchant from Sturminster Newton in Dorset who set up operations in Barr'd Islands in the 1830s] in the early 1890s, according to Eric Witcher, author of "\\i From English Roots: Barr'd Islands\\i0 ". Duder, however, was one of many businesses forced into bankruptcy by the 1894 Bank Crash that devasated Newfoundland. The next owner of the business was Henry Earle of St. John's."

He was the son of Edwin and Mary Ann(nee Edgar) Duder. He had no issue.
