Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of Lloyd's Register, 1884: Being a Sketch of the Origin, Constitution, and Progress of Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping Now to Lloyd's Coffee-house he never fails TO read the letters and attend the sales. Lloyd seems to have been a man of unusual ability and enterprise. He it was who started that system of shipping intelligence which, under the direction of the great Marine Insurance Corporation of Lloyd's, has grown to be one of the most extensive and most perfect organisations in the world of commerce. He established and conducted newspapers at a time when journalistic enterprise was in its infancy and the freedom of the press was unknown. His first ven ture was a Shipping and commercial chronicle called Lloyd's News, which, begun in September, 1696, and issued three times a week, was brought to a prema ture end in the following February, in consequence of the Government having taken offence at some trifling allusion to the proceedings of the House of Lords. This paper, however, was the forerunner of the world-famous Lloyd's Lz'st, which was commenced in 1726, and has continued to the present day. It is thus able to claim the distinction of being, with the sole exception of the official London Gazette, the Oldest newspaper now in existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s the author was asked to investigate the newly discovered wreck of the Xantho, an iron screw steamship active off the Australian coast during the period 1848 to 1872, and to develop a strategy to stop the looting that was occurring at the site. This relatively straightforward assignment turned into a long-term research program for applying maritime archaeology to the conservation of iron-hulled wrecks.

Book excerpt: First Published in 2005. The authors of this book have tried to portray, in outline, the background of trade against which the Navy of Nelson's time had to operate. The Tarde Winds is the title they have chosen and the book should serve to remind us of many physical facts which then dominated the strategy both of trade and war—the Trade Winds themselves being not the least of them.

This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The external economy of British North America has attracted considerable scholarly attention in the last two generations, and the papers reprinted here, in this second collection from Jacob Price, make important contributions to quantification, conceptualisation and debate. Studies presenting and analysing new statistical material from the English and Scottish customs accounts are supplemented by a general survey of the transatlantic economy in the 18th century which is required reading for all students of the subject. Price's treatment is diversified into financial arrangements and the role of credit in the slave trade and plantation economies. In a provocative chapter "Who cared about the colonies?", concern in Britain for the 13 colonies between 1714 and 1775 is explored in terms of the ability of the colonies to involve the interests and command the attention and concern of people in Britain from the politically eminent to those in trade and to the nation at large.
