Maritime

This book tells the story of the birth, growth and healthy survival of one of the oldest shipping companies in the world in continuous private ownership. It is also the story of a Scottish Family of Thomsons from 1825 when two brothers began building up a fleet which now takes a leading part in the liner trade between Europe and the Far East. The whole book makes an enthralling narrative to which the author does ample justice.
