DESCRIPTION -- B/W photograph of the Ben Line vessel The Benlawers which is in a very good condition.
[ONLY 1 AVAILABLE]

CONDITION -- Excellent

HISTORY -- The Ben Line originated with the partnership of William and Alexander Thomson who went into the shipping business in 1839. They started with sailing ships and imported marble from Italy and took coal to Canada returning with timber. From 1859 the company operated routes to Singapore, China and Japan and this became its major source of business. New routes were established to the Baltic and the Canadian trade had run down by the mid-1880's.
