Founded in 1825 by the 21-year-old George Thompson Jnr, the
Aberdeen Line developed over 100 years into one of the
best-respected shipping lines in Britain. Initially engaged in the
UK coastal, Baltic, North American, South American, China and
Antipodean trade routes, before settling to become the
longest-serving line on the Australian trade via the Cape, the name
of Thompson's Aberdeen was synonymous with the highest professional
standards, with such jewels as the clipper Thermopylae and their
first steamer, SS Aberdeen. The Aberdeen name navigated commercial
takeovers by the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, Shaw Savill and
Albion, Lord Kylsant's Royal Mail Group and Furness Withy, before
becoming all but forgotten when it finally furled its sails in
1957. Here Peter King seeks to bring this once prominent shipping
line's history to light once more for the enjoyment of shipping
enthusiasts and maritime historians everywhere.
