ABOUT
A classic study from 150+ year ago, that charts Lloyd's rise from a London coffee house to the centre of global marine insurance.
Explains how underwriting practices, brokers, and syndicates evolved alongside Britain's expanding maritime trade. The narrative includes notable ship losses, disputes, and reforms that shaped the market's reputation.
The extensive statistical appendix, unusual for its time, provides data on premiums, losses, and shipping trends, grounding the narrative in empirical detail.
Martin' work remains a foundational reference, offering both a historical chronicle and an analytical portrait of the mechanisms that underpinned Britain's maritime dominance.
Includes appendix containing statistics relating to marine insurance.
