ABOUT
A history of 200 years of Lloyd's Register of Shipping.
A centennial spanning history of Lloyd’s Register, tracing its origins as a simple classification list for shipowners into a global authority on maritime standards.
Author outlines how the Register developed rules for ship construction, safety, and survey work as shipping technology moved from sail to steam to steel. Blake highlights key personalities, institutional reforms, and the Register’s role in improving maritime safety worldwide.
The book serves as both an institutional chronicle and a technical history of two centuries of shipbuilding and classification.
Includes monochrome illustrations, plus index, decorated end papers.
