HISTORY -- The Sphere (full title: The Sphere: An Illustrated Newspaper for the Home) was a British newspaper, published weekly from 27 January 1900 until the closure of the paper on 27 June 1964; the first issue came out at the height of the Boer War and was no doubt a product of that conflict and the public appetite for images. At the time, it was in direct competition with The Graphic and Illustrated London News, and evidence of this rivalry can be seen in the latter's publication shortly after of a new illustrated paper entitled The Spear in an attempt to confuse readers.

HISTORY -- The Company was founded by Christopher Furness and Henry Withy in 1891 in Hartlepool. This was achieved by the amalgamation of the Furness Line of steamers with the business of Edward Withy and Co., iron and steel shipbuilders and repairers, of West Hartlepool. An early acquisition in 1900 was a controlling interest in Richardsons Westgarth & Company, a marine engineering business. It started with 18 vessels and over the subsequent years it owned in excess of a thousand ships. It bought the Prince line in 1916.

HISTORY -- SS Great Britain is a museum ship and
former passenger steamship, which was advanced for her time. She was the
longest passenger ship in the world from 1845 to 1854. She was designed by Isambard
Kingdom Brunel for the Great Western Steamship Company's transatlantic service
between Bristol and New York. While other ships had been built of iron or
equipped with a screw propeller, Great Britain was the first to combine
these features in a large ocean-going ship.

HISTORY -- In 1988 DFDS adopted a new marketing name, Scandinavian Seaways, for their passenger division. As a result the Tor Scandinavia was painted in a new, attractive white/blue livery, but the change also meant disappearance of the name Tor Line from her hull. However, she and her sister did still retain their original names. In the same year the ship was moved to Danish International Shipregistry, which meant less operational costs for the company.
