London Lloyd's List (Lloyd's List Press) 1984 Softcover, 288pp., 24x34cm., illustr. in col. and b/w., in very good condition. This supplement marks the 250th anniversary of Lloyd's List, recounting how the search for shipping news and risk information grew from a London coffee-house into a global maritime and commercial service.… Through essays, archival images and detailed commentary it reveals how Lloyd's List served sea and city, tracking ship movements, disasters, salvage operations, port-developments and changing trade patterns. The book brings alive the interplay between maritime life and urban commerce over two and a half centuries, and appeals to historians, shipping professionals and anyone curious about the links between sea and city. The work is organised into themed sections: the origins of Lloyd's List in Edward Lloyd's coffee-house around 1734; its role in reporting shipping intelligence and underwriting risk; how port cities, trade routes and ship-technology affected maritime and urban landscapes; and how the service adapted into the late twentieth century. With both narrative text and pictorial spreads, it highlights key episodes such as major ship-losses, the evolution of ports, the advent of computerised reporting and the changing structure of shipping information. The heavy use of illustrations and documents makes this more than a history - it's a visual chronicle of sea and city in constant interaction.
