The history of the great shipping groups of the nineteenth century
is about family dynasties, business acumen, investment, risk taking
and entrepreneurial skills. It is about everything that epitomises
the Victorian age. Men of vision identified market trends and gaps
in the provision of shipping services throughout the world. They
were responsible for initiating routes that were that were to
develop and blossom providing them with excellent returns on their
original investment. The main 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 in Merseyside as were
many ancillary departments. Over the past four decades the shape of
British Shipping has changed and some of the established shipping
lines that had been in business since Victorian times did not
survive and 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 period. Liverpool's Shipping
Groups is a celebration of a period that will not be forgotten by
anyone with an interest in ships and the sea.
