Liverpool's Shipping Groups

by Ian Collard - £12.99  Tempus Publishing (2002)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780752423746 | ISBN 10: 0752423746

The many British shipping lines in this book, including among others Brocklebank, Cunard, Blue Funnel, Booth, Elder Dempster, Ellerman & Hall Lines, Lamport & Holt and Cayzer, Irvine, had their origins in Liverpool, once the premier port in the United Kingdom. Head offices were located on Merseyside as were many ancillary departments. Over the past four decades th shape of British shipping has changed and some of the established shipping lines that had been in business since Victorian times did not survive. Many of the names in this book are now a memory of a different age. Others have been taken over by larger groups and their names have gradually vanished from the shipping records as their ships have been replaced or renamed. It was difficult to imagine in the 1960s that the shipping scene would change so dramatically in such a relatively short period; this book is a celebration of a period that will not be forgotten by anyone with an interest in ships and the sea.
